R v GC
GC was charged with one count of ‘dishonestly obtain a financial advantage’ ($500,000.00) contrary to section 192D of the Crimes Act 1900.
GC pleaded not guilty and was committed to stand Trial in the Sydney District Court.
Chris Cole instructed counsel at Trial. Following a successful application to have the trial separated from that of the accused, the Director of Public Prosecutions gave a direction that there were to be no further proceedings against GC and the charge was dismissed.
GC had been on Bail for over three years when his charge was dismissed. This direction was a great relief for the client and a fantastic result.
