She was struck off the roll of barristers and solicitors in February 2015<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Reid has been attempting to return as a lawyer since 2022.<\/p>\n

In April that year, seven years after being struck off, Reid applied for the restoration of her name to the High Court roll.<\/p>\n

The Lawyers and Conveyancers Disciplinary Tribunal turned her down in March 2023.<\/p>\n

After a tribunal refused her, she appealed to the High Court<\/a> in August that year and was again turned down.<\/p>\n

The Court of Appeal<\/a> declined to hear her case, so she applied for leave to appeal directly to the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the Supreme Court, the country\u2019s final court of appeal, released its decision in which it turned her down.<\/p>\n

However, a notice went up on the Law Society website in early October advising that Reid had applied to the Lawyers and Conveyancers Disciplinary Tribunal for restoration to the roll. <\/p>\n

Objections or comments were due back to the Law Society by October 8.<\/p>\n

A Law Society spokesperson told Stuff it would be opposing the application.<\/p>\n
