Regina v Sampson and Sampson: CACD 3 Apr 1998

The defendants appealed against their convictions for falsifying a document used for an accounting purpose, namely a mortgage application form. They denied it was a document used for that purpose. The form was false in denying an existing mortgage in favour of a different lender. Officers of the lender gave evidence that the document never went forward into the accounting system.
