    A Bay of Plenty lawyer's accused of falsely claiming almost 450-thousand-dollars from a Government-funded legal support scheme


    Paulette Main faces 30 charges of obtaining by deception, and two charges of obstructing a Serious Fraud Office investigation.

    The SFO alleges she submitted more than 15-hundred false claims to the Justice Ministry's Family Legal Advice Service.

    It funds lawyers to give out of court advice in Care of Children Act disputes.

    Main appeared in Tauranga District Court today and is scheduled to reappear next month.
