Appeal against conviction arises from an established conspiracy to defraud. The first of three grounds was that the verdict was inconsistent with the previous acquittals at the earlier trial of two co-defendants, J and B. The second was that it was unfair to allow another co-defendant at the earlier trial, K, who was then convicted, to give evidence against J at his retrial without giving full disclosure of privileged material. The third is that there had been such delay overall in dealing with the prosecution as to amount to a breach of the requirement of article 6(1) of the European Convention of Human Rights.
