Henry Hendron, who previously represented high-profile figures including the Earl of Cardigan and Nadine Dorries, is alleged to have bought crystal meth and GBL. He is charged with two counts of encouraging an either way offence between August 31 last year and March 31 this year by buying Class A and C drugs. At a previous hearing at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in August, prosecutor Tom Broomfield said the first two charges relate to Hendron “encouraging the supply of Class A, crystal methamphetamine, and Class C, GBL, drugs from a former client of Mr Hendron, who was a practising barrister at the time”.
