A hearing was held today at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court. Elphicke (pictured above) was informed that his convictions had prevented him from getting a job and returning to his old work as a lawyer.

Elphicke answered the question of whether or not he could borrow money to repay his debts.

During a previous hearing, Elphicke told the court Step Change, a debt advice charity, had told him to offer to pay back the debt at the rate of £1 per month, an offer that the courts rejected. He also told the court that he had received £51,000 from the sale of his marital home, which he had used for legal fees and rent.

Elphicke replied to magistrates when asked about the total sale price of the house.

The former MP, who was first elected in 2010, admitted he paid six months rent upfront for a flat in Fulham, south-west London, that was valued online at nearly £475,000.

Elphicke, his ex-wife Natalie, needed to move on after his separation from her. Natalie became the MP for Dover after supporting Elphicke through his trial.

Elphicke stated to the court that because the initial fine had not yet been paid until September, Elphicke had had to pay legal fees of thousands of pounds for his appeal.

He claimed ‘it was a kind of catch-22’ and asked the court to give him until the end of his sentence, September 15 next year, so he could ‘get back on his feet again’ and find the £35,000.

Elphicke was informed by Mr Kooner, after he had retired to take their final decision: “We have listened all you have to us. It is not the court’s intention to put people on the wrong path.”

‘We are going to accept your offer that you will clear the £35,000 on or before September 15 next year. You should clear this amount immediately if you are employed, or if you have the means to do so.

Elphicke will make an appearance before the court to assess his progress on March 25, next year.
