Claire Williams failed to appear at Oxford Magistrates’ Court on 4 November 2013, however the case was proven in her absence and she was found guilty of both charges; which are contrary to Sections 38 (1) and (2) and Sections 39(1) and (3) of the Dentists Act 1984.
Ms Williams, who was the sole practitioner at the Old Bakery Dental Practice, Thame Road in Chinnor in Oxfordshire, was fined £1,000, ordered to pay full GDC costs of £1559.15 and a £100 victim surcharge. She was registered with the GDC from 10 January 1980 until her removal on 7 January 2013 for non-payment of her Annual Retention Fee, but despite being removed from the register she continued to practise.
