Judges' own summary
of judgment on Corner House and CAAT v. Director of the Serious Fraud Office and BAE Systems PLC
by Lord Justice Moses and Mr Justice Sullivan
first published 10 April 2008
On 10 April 2008, Lord Justice Moses and Mr Justice Sullivan ruled that the decision of the Director of the Serious Fraud Office to drop an investigation into alleged bribes by BAE Systems in Saudi Arabia was unlawful. As the judgment is long -- on the judges' own admission -- they prepared a summary of the first part of their ruling.
