At the Disciplinary Hearing try to have the firm`s HR manager there or take a professional person with you. Dont say too much and dont offer all your defence! It may just end up with a warning letter. If you are sacked at this meeting state you disagree with the allegations and you intend to appeal. Then request a 2nd hearing. Appeal with all your facts and statements. If the worse comes to the worse this sounds like a very strong case for unfair dismissal at tribunal. Constructive dismissal is when she leaves of her own free-will due to bullying, work stress, unreasonable demands etc and this is always an option for the future if she retains her job. Good Luck!
