Among the claimants was a woman identified only as P, who was charged with shoplifting a 99p book in August 1999. After failing to attend her appearance before a Magistrates' Court 18 days later, she was summarily convicted of a second offence under the Bail Act 1976.
In November 1990, she was given a conditional discharge in respect of both offences.
Wow, she got a conditional discharge before she committed the offence? Perhaps the company felt that if with 9 years planning she was unable to shoplift a 99p book without being apprehended she didn't meet the requirement of being able to carry out planned tasks successfully?
