Jane Greenhalgh defends in a multi-million pound Excise and VAT Fraud at Southwark Crown Court
Jane Greenhalgh defended Kulwant Hare in a multi-million pound HMRC prosecution for alcohol excise duty evasion and VAT fraud at Southwark Crown Court.
The case related to events between a period of September 2009 and December 2010 when those involved in the “Eastenders” cash and carry, in East London, were said to have been responsible for an Excise fraud in the sum of approximately £22 million.
The proceedings against Mr Kulwant Hare were originally initiated in 2020.
However, after extensive submissions over two years, Mr Hare was found unfit to stand trial and after a six-week trial the jury found that he had been responsible for the acts alleged.
On 20th September 2024, His Honour Judge Bartle KC ordered that the ultimate disposal should be one of an Absolute Discharge.
No proceedings therefore followed pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, nor any applications for director disqualification.
Jane was instructed by Stuart Nolan, a director of DPP Law, who worked diligently with Jane, throughout the proceedings to ensure a just outcome for Kulwant Hare.
