Cases he was involved in included the Court of Appeal matters of: AA and SA v R; [2010] EWCA Crim 2805; 29th November 2010; Bassaid v Munir [2010] EWCA Civ 1235; 13th October 2010; Larkfield Limited v Revenue and Customs Prosecutions Office; Court of Appeal Civil Division; [2010] EWCA Civ 521 [12/5/10] (2010) 3 All ER 1173 : (2010) STC 1506; and Stephen Lamb v Revenue and Customs Prosecutions Office; Court of Appeal Civil Division; [2010] EWCA Civ 285 [18/03/10] (2010) STC 1190.
