Thursday 12th April 2012
Mark Wall QC and Tim Hannam have secured the acquittal of Tony Newman, the ex-sales and marketing director of Jewson, accused of a number of high value conspiracies to defraud Jewson during his employment with them.
On 2nd April 2012, Mark Wall QC and Tim Hannam secured the acquittal of their client, Tony Newman, the ex-sales and marketing director of Jewson, the national builders merchant. Mr. Newman had been accused of a number of high value conspiracies to defraud Jewson during his employment with them but had maintained his innocence. The case against him collapsed when, in the face of an abuse of process argument mounted on his behalf which alleged a wholesale failure in disclosure and investigation on the part of the police, the CPS and Jewson itself, the Crown decided to offer no evidence against him.
