£3,000 penalty for provided unregulated immigration advice (29 July 2016)
Date: 29/07/2016
A community television presenter who offered unregulated immigration advice has been ordered to pay a fine of £1,200 and compensation of £1,125, plus costs.
At Westminster Magistrates’ Court, Pantea Modiri, 41, of Arrabella Drive in Putney, southwest London pleaded guilty to one charge of providing unregulated immigration advice and services.
Ms Modiri had appeared regularly as a community TV presenter and operated under two business names – Coronation Law LLP and Modiri & Co. The court heard she advertised her services in a Persian community publication and on a company website.
She was sentenced to a £1,200 fine, compensation of £1,125 – and was ordered to pay costs of £991 and a victim surcharge of £120.
After sentencing, the Deputy Immigration Services Commissioner, Dr Ian Leigh said:
“We have clear standards outlining what we expect in terms of the fitness and competence of regulated advisers.
“Ms Modiri chose to operate outside the law. I am delighted with the outcome of this case, and I hope this sends a clear message to other people considering providing immigration advice – either act within the law or you will find yourself in court.”
