Fraud & dishonesty

R v S (2018) – We represented a leading surgeon accused of fraud who was acquitted after trial.

R v L & Others (2015) – We represented one of seven defendants charged with a fraud on the access to work fund prosecuted by the DWP. The prosecution team consisted of 3 counsel led by a QC. An unusual aspect of this case was that all defendants in the case were deaf. James Palfrey represented the only defendant in the 34-day trial to be acquitted.

R v P & Others (2015) – We represented one of three defendants charged with banking fraud. Of the three counts faced by the defendant, two were dismissed following defence submissions at half time. The defendant was acquitted by the jury of the remaining count. The 2 co-defendants were convicted.

R v A & Others (2014) – We represented one of seven charged with driving licence fraud. The case against the defendant was dismissed at half time.
