Case No. EWCA-Crim-2366

the appellant was convicted of conspiring to commit an insurance fraud on evidence which would have supported an indictment for conspiracies to trade fraudulently. The ultimate losses were likely to be £1 billion and 1000 employees lost their jobs. The court, over which the then Sir Igor Judge P presided, held that the sentencing judge was not obliged to sentence on the basis that the lower maximum sentence for conspiracy to trade fraudulently applied. 27.In
