Lindsay Lohan has a lot of catching up to finish the needed 240-hour community service for her to be free from previous reckless driving case back in 2012. The actress' 'meeting and greeting in London' are said not to have qualified for the standards of what community service should be.

In an interview with People, Santa Monica Chief Deputy City Attorney Terry White said, "I agree with [the court's decision]. There were things she did that didn't qualify as community service."

The news outlet pointed out that court the act of 'shadowing' Lohan while she is playing a part in a London play last year is one of the acts that do not qualify with their terms.

Back in January, Judge White told the AP what the Mean Girls Star should do.

She got to shake hands with people, and that's community service. I'd love to hang out with a celebrity all day and see their life, but that's not community service," the judge said.

According to BBC, the 28-year old star helped facilitate US insurance giant Esurance to donate $10,000 (£6,440) to Community Service Volunteers (CSV) charity group, the organization she had worked with while she was in London.

The organization, said to focus in empowering teenagers in Hackney, previously released a positive remark about Lohan's volunteering acts on the organisation's Positive Futures project.

"She has built strong relationships with the young volunteers she has worked with on the scheme," the organization once reported.

According to Daily Mail, Lohan's attorney, Shawn Holley, spoke about the actress' case in an interview with LA Times saying that the court needs more concrete definition that would rule out the alleged 'work shadowing'

The court 'had a problem with some of the work shadowing. They didn't want to hear more about how that played out.'

To date, Lohan's probation is moved for another three months from March, the month where it was suppose to end.

Meanwhile, Holley said that Lohan is completely fine with the court's decision.

"She's enjoying doing community service. Her passion is really working with kids... and kids really respond to her," she told the press.
