Proceeding contribution from Lord Thomas of Gresford (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 19 July 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Fraud Bill [HL].


Fraud Bill [HL]

I recall a leading case on recklessness in criminal damage. It was the Metropolitan Police Commissioner against somebody—after lengthy travelling today, I cannot remember the name of the case. But I remember my son, studying at Cambridge some years later, asking what on earth academics discussed before that case when it came to recklessness, because all his lectures were devoted to it.
