Conspiracy to Defraud: The Threshold Standardisation

摘要

An interesting issue arose in this case regarding the offence of conspiracy to defraud, and the threshold standardisation after presentation of the prosecution evidence that a case had not been established to be left to the jury, properly applying the test in the well-known case of Galbraith (R v Galbraith (1981) 73 Cr App R 124). The appellants were convicted before Southwark Crown Court of two counts of conspiracy to defraud and of attempting to convert criminal property.
