An unregistered barrister who defrauded his grandmother of more than £10,000 has been disbarred. Darren Stapleford, called by Inner Temple in November 2012, was convicted at Chichester Crown Court in 2016 of five counts of fraud. He was sentenced to four years imprisonment on each count to be served concurrently and ordered to pay £8,000 in compensation.
