Major cases include acting for F in the pharmaceuticals case, reported in the House of Lords as GG plc and others (2008) UKHL 17. This was one of the largest such prosecutions ever undertaken by the Serious Fraud Office and involved complex and novel issues of law concerning the limits of criminal prosecution for anti competitive activity. Other recent cases include a £400 million money laundering case involving alleged bribery for contracts in covering 4 jurisdictions, resolved on an interlocutory appeal R v A 2007 EWCA Crim 2868. Another noteworthy case is R v Da Costa (Southwark), a marine insurance fraud, involving multi jurisdictional issues, regulation of the NASDAQ, and insurance law in Italy and Ireland.
Fraudulent trading cases prosecuted by the SFO include R v Forsyth, where F was supplying computers to major retailers and the Ministry of Defence.
ii. ‘Miscarriages’. Regularly appears in miscarriage cases, having represented 4 of the appellants in the original Stoke Newington police corruption cases. Most recently appeared in the ‘Essex Boys’ murder appeal reported as R v Steele and Whomes 2007 1 Cr App R 3 and now before the European Court of Human Rights following the Court of Appeal’s dismissal of the appeal on a reference from the Criminal Cases Review Commission. Junior counsel for Rowe in the successful appeal against murder convictions on a CCRC reference of the M25 3 reported as Johnson, Davies,Rowe (2001) Cr App R 8, concerned in part with the relationship between Article 6 and S.2 Criminal Appeals Act 1968.
Advises in and drafts representations pro bono to the Criminal Cases Review Commission.
iii. Serious crime. Cases this year include leading counsel in R v Marianne Jonson aka Countess Mariaska Romanov, a substantial fraud; R v Fell and others, involving stranger rape, conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and firearms offences.
Other reported cases include in the House of Lords B (a minor) v DPP 2000 2 AC 428, a leading case on strict liability and in the Divisional Court R v Middlesex Crown Court ex parte Tamosius( 2000) 1 WLR 453, concerning the search powers of the revenue and legal professional privilege in an alleged tax fraud.
