[2014]JRC129

Royal Court

(Samedi)

11 June 2014

Before :

P. J. L. Beaumont, C.B.E.,Q.C., Commissioner, sitting alone.

The Attorney General

-v-

Neil William Bennett

M. T. Jowitt, Esq., Crown Advocate.

Advocate M. L. Preston for the Defendant.

JUDGMENT

THE commissioner:

1. I will permit you to ask Mr Penaluna questions that go strictly to motive in the shorthand sense that we have been using it in the course of these submissions. I will not permit you to explore through Mr Penaluna matters which the Prosecution have characterised as VAT fraud because in my judgment they relate solely to the issues of Mr Sumries credit and are therefore matters upon which you are bound by his answers.
