Libertas Member Defends In Serious Fraud Trial at Southwark 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.

Darren Snow defends at the NMC on Sexual Assault Allegations Darren Snow, instructed by Zach Jones of the Royal College of Nursing Legal Team, defended a nurse before the NMC Fitness to Practice Panel in respect of multiple allegations of sexual assault against a patient and colleague. The allegations spanned between 2012 and 2017. Darren’s client had been initially cleared in a 2012 hospital investigation and then acquitted of all charges in a crown court trial. The Nursing & Midwifery Council then instigated fitness to practice proceedings culminating in a hearing in May 2024, by which time the allegations were all very old and the NMC case relied upon witnesses who had already given evidence in the crown court trial where the jury had found the nurse not guilty. The defence team were able to use transcripts from the crown court trial as well as documents from the original hospital investigation to demonstrate the unreliability of the evidence, inconsistencies in the witness accounts and secure the exclusion of significant hearsay material on grounds of unfairness. All charges were dismissed by the Fitness to Practice Panel hearing the case.
