Yet Another Magnificent Acquittal for Lewis Nedas

Jeffrey Lewis and Siobhain Egan represented three of nine defendants facing trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court regarding serious allegations of dishonesty.

As a result of our consistent and determined requests for disclosure and the Crown’s failure to adequately respond, the Crown Prosecution Service decided (halfway through our powerfully persuasive abuse argument) to drop these proceedings… some twenty months after our clients’ initial arrests. The Judge then entered not guilty verdicts on behalf of eight of the nine defendants and each of our clients.

Our clients were magnificently represented by the following barristers:

• Marguerite Russell of Garden Court Chambers;
• Jamie Carr of 4 Breams Buildings;
• Ed Fenner of 4 Breams Buildings;
• Anna Morris of Garden Court Chambers.

They were also ably assisted by their very hard working pupil, Harriet Short.

As a result of these proceedings, our clients, who had always strenuously denied any wrongdoing, lost their jobs, their business and have suffered ill health. The collapse of this case will now lead to calls by us for full enquiries by the Resident Judge at Snaresbrook and the DPP. Our clients will also issue civil proceedings against both the Metropolitan Police and the Crown Prosecution Service.
