| Crime & Fraud Cases
Tony Meisels successfully represented an individual who was tried on indictment and faced charges of historic sexual abuse; the alleged victim was his teenage daughter. The client was acquitted of all charges; the advocate was the excellent Soraya Lawrence of Farringdon Chambers;- Jeffrey Lewis and Siobhain Egan are instructed in a high profile Libel action, which has arisen from criminal proceedings.
Additionally they have advised another high profile individual facing a national press investigation; - Sean and James Reilly are instructed in the following cases and represent:
a) A client facing trial concerning HMRC fraud and possible breaches of the Official Secrets Act;
b) An individual on trial for a £4million mobile phone fraud;
c) A client facing allegations of widespread underage sexual offences;
d) Extradition proceedings involving the Government of Romania, during which the Romanian Justice Minister admitted that she had misled the U.K authorities: the proceedings are ongoing. - Siobhain Egan successfully represented a professional man, who holds a senior position in a very sensitive profession and faced an allegation that he had assaulted his wife. The CPS were aware that his wife, who had been under the influence of alcohol when she called the police, had withdrawn her allegation within hours of the original 999 call.
Siobhain wrote to the CPS asking that they reconsider the decision to prosecute, stating that the couple wanted to reconcile (our clients bail conditions excluded him from the family home) and that if the case proceeded, the client would automatically lose his job and therefore his ability to support their children.The CPS refused and continued with the prosecution.
Siobhain instructed the excellent David Nathan QC, who persuaded the very experienced Judge after arguing Abuse of Process, that it would be impossible for our client to have a fair trial and that the alleged victim had made it plain that the incident had never happened and that she would give evidence for her husband. By agreeing to do so she risked prosecution for wasting police time or perverting the course of justice.
The Judge stopped the prosecution, acquitted our client and made an order for defence costs; - Siobhain Egan also represented a businessman who was tried in the Crown Court for allegations of sexual assault, and whose case was reported widely in the National press. Again David Nathan QC represented this defendant who was acquitted of all charges.The Judge made an order for defence costs;
- Siobhain has also been instructed by a financier facing allegations of dishonesty;
- Unan Choudhury has been instructed to represent a businessman facing allegations of historic sexual abuse, going back 40 years;
- Fiona Grandy has been instructed to represent a young man, who along with a number of co-defendants faces an allegation of murder;
- Keith Wood advises a client who though acquitted of serious criminal proceedings, remains the subject of a Sunday Times investigation.
