Justin McClintock has concluded the successful defence of a client charged with evading millions of pounds of tax owed on cigarettes. Justin successfully argued that the evidence against his client was not sufficient to establish that he knowingly assisted in the evasion of duty and that a reasonable jury could not reject all realistic possibilities consistent with his client’s innocence. Justin’s client had faced a lengthy custodial sentence.
The successful outcome in this case could not have been achieved without the hard work of Justin’s instructing solicitor, Sumeer Choudhry, Director of BAC Law.
