Exactly. In fact, the formality of it will mean less of an opportunity to engage with the board than at a fans forum. However, it might not even get to this. If the shares being offered are in a private company then there would be no AGM. The requirement to hold an AGM (and even the concept of...

This is the transcript of the meeting between Mitchell and the police officers released by the IPCC which was produced from a tape recording: http://www.ipcc.gov.uk/sites/default/files/Documents/investigation_commissioner_reports/Transcript%20of%20meeting.pdf. Mitchell clearly gives a full...

Exactly. I would say it is a reasonable possibility that at least some on the jury had never even heard of him before the trial. Add this to the seemingly widespread public attitude towards wealthy people and the tax they pay (which, of course, jurors will be told to disregard, but it is...

In order to arrest an individual, the police must have reasonable grounds for suspecting that you have committed an offence. Believing that a witness...

Remember that they have received a life sentence. The 14/15 yrs are minimum terms - there is absolutely no guarantee that either will be released after 14/15 yrs, but they will only be eligible for release after this time. Also, even when they have been released, they are released on license -...

In theory, but I can't imagine it would be successful. The case has already been before the Court of Appeal who found that the new evidence was compelling and gave a realistic prospect of prosecution (and gave permission for the trial in the first place) so can't see them succeeding on the...
