In a letter dated 9 December to the LPC, Paulse addressed a series of complaints filed by Casoojee in October and November this year, defending her professional conduct and explaining events in two separate court proceedings.

The correspondence, seen by The Star, outlines her position on allegations that she misled courts and acted outside her professional responsibilities.

Paulse begins by noting her long legal career and asserts that she has maintained an unblemished professional record. She describes the conduct of the complainant as unusually aggressive and beyond what she has encountered in family law.

The response deals in detail with complaints arising from two matters: an interim protection order application in the Randburg Magistrate's Court in May and a five-day trial in the Cape Town Magistrate's Court in 2023.
