The offending concerned the submission of false food hygiene inspection reports which purported to record inspections that had either not taken place or had not taken place as recorded.
The defendant, who had pleaded guilty at their Plea and Trial Preparation Hearing, received a suspended sentence order for the offending.
Gabriel was instructed by Clive Uzoho of Thurrock Council.
