Facts of the Case
Background
The respondent was dismissed for misconduct after pleading guilty to misrepresenting facts to Tear Fund.

The respondent refused to attend and the appeals authority imposed dismissal. The NEC appeals committee upheld her appeal and ordered reinstatement, leading to this appeal.
