Simone Selkirk of consulting firm Marc1 has been charged with dishonestly obtaining a financial advantage by deception over a series of transactions at the upmarket department store between November 2015 and August last year.

The Downing Centre Local Court has been told Ms Selkirk, whose business website describes her as a "highly experienced corporate and disputes lawyer", visited different David Jones stores and sought refunds for various goods by returning the items without genuine receipts.

In a previously agreed upon set of facts, she provided staff with a specific proof of purchase number that she had created, allowing her to have the value of the item transferred onto her credit card.
