The Director of the Serious Fraud Office is severely criticised by Court of Appeal in recent case. Clandestine meetings with "fixers". Denials of meetings...non disclosure of material ….

One wonders is the Attorney General has the guts to sack her, or if the Director of the SFO will resign.

In an unusual case, the criticism is of actions of the Director, not more junior members of the organisation

Serious Farce Office, perhaps, more appropriate.

On this occasion I agree with Spen.

The interactions with the fixer were jaw dropping and that's before disclosure failings.

How long exactly has disclosure to the defence been a thing? PACE?

I rather enjoyed the BBC drama show trial in which failure to disclose was a subplot.

It is amazing how silent the Attorney General's Office are on this - announcing an inquiry to kick matter into the long grass...then no further action will be taken

Standard political response
