[UPDATE 8 DECEMBER] In the light of the Government's Press release that the decision has been taken that the Serious Fraud Office is to get involved in the enforcement of Company Law Compliance obligations, and in the hope that some Direct Access Barrister might read this and offer some pro-bono help - I disclose the following statements made by Rebecca Hume, Member of Howard Kennedy llp in the application to which she put her name on 26 November 2025: "Howard Kennedy llp (asks)... the Court to make an order that: ..it be directed that the hearing of this application be conducted in private pursuant to CPR Rule 39.2(3)(a) and (c) AND ...an order directing that in the interests of justice, the order not be published on the judiciary website.." What are they trying to hide? Should I ask for a direction that the case be heard in Tehran like the ones for Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe ? Come back Franz Kafka - all is forgiven. ---------------------------------------...
