Crass. 

@Banker typical mid level management behaviour prevalent in Comis golf members- I’ll call you Gareth from now on (instead of Bob) as a reference to the Ricky Gervais comedy It’s John Wright the advocate a former admin here and regular contributor to these boards. If you are retired and still fawning over individuals that your boss says don’t upset because because because - it proves your lack of spine a trait seen in many sideways promoted Channel Island banking people who arrived here- fair play for milking it 👊🏻

Thanks Bill, enjoying your backdated government pay rise with another nice holiday over Xmas ?

Think you’ll find that Mr Wright took no part in the appeal. 

Mr Bell was represented by Jamás Hodivala KC, instructed by James Quinn.

How can anyone know how much “cash” Mr Bell had on a date in 2009, when he wasn’t arrested, or his property searched, until 7 years later.

Privy Council beckons.

Thanks so Helmut was wrong as usual, no surprise for the civil servant!

Yes I wondered if there might be an appeal to the JCPC, it's the sort of technical quibbling that could need to be decided there.  And the Government actually lost on the first grounds of appeal and only scaped through on the particular circumstances of the second.  Whatever the actual legality, the whole thing looks a bit slapdash.

They actually had the Judge of Appeal and two Acting Deemsters to decide (is this the first time they've used Nigel Teare?) so clearly wanting it fairly high powered.  But as with this whole case you do wonder what is actually going on.

This one could run and run and any actual trial of Bell recede into the distance.
