Tom Hayes, first banker to be convicted in 2012 rate-rigging scandal, had his case rejected by UK court of appeal

• Business live – latest updates

Tom Hayes, the first banker to be convicted over the Libor interest rate scandal, has said he is “not a quitter” and vowed to continue his near-10-year battle to clear his name after losing an appeal.

Hayes and another former banker, Carlo Palombo, had their convictions considered by the court of appeal in London in a three-day hearing. On Wednesday, it rejected their cases.

The court of appeal ruled on Monday that the ‘consent’ defence could not be used in the cases of climate activists. Sandra Laville reports

Over the last year, many climate protesters facing trial for criminal damage have used the “consent” defence, arguing that if the property owner had known more about the climate emergency, they would have agreed with the activists’ actions.

On Monday, in a case brought by the attorney general, Victoria Prentis, the court of appeal ruled that such a defence could not be used in future cases.

Court of appeal’s removal of ‘consent’ defence means defendants on trial for criminal damage can no longer use it

It took a matter of minutes in the court of appeal, where demonstrators were strangely absent, for the dial to shift once more on the rights of protest in England and Wales.

The decision taken on Monday by the court of appeal to, in effect, find in favour of the attorney general, the Conservative government’s premier legal officer, has removed a defence for climate protesters that had been available on the statute books since 1971.

Expert witness says he raised concerns about police questioning with Oliver Campbell’s lawyers before trial

An expert witness in the case of a vulnerable man convicted of murder wrote to the man’s lawyers raising serious concerns about police conduct in “relentless” interviews, but never received a reply.

Oliver Campbell, 53, who sustained a brain injury as a baby, was subjected to 14 police interviews over three days when he confessed to murder in 1990. His case is being considered by the court of appeal after a referral by the Criminal Cases Review Commission.

Court hears Oliver Campbell, now 53, was convicted on basis of inconsistent confession made under police pressure

There is a “growing crescendo of concern” from psychological experts that a vulnerable man was convicted of murder on the basis of a false confession, the court of appeal heard on Wednesday.

Oliver Campbell was convicted of murdering east London shopkeeper Baldev Hoondle 33 years ago after telling police he had shot him. But Campbell, 53, suffered profound brain injuries as a baby, leaving him with significantly impaired cognitive ability.

Any British person who has a foreign-born parent will feel their status is more precarious after the court of appeal decision

The court of appeal ruled this morning that Shamima Begum had been lawfully deprived of her British citizenship. The 24-year-old’s citizenship was first revoked in 2019. She challenged that decision at a special immigration appeals commission last year, and lost . This latest ruling might represent the end of her hope to return home, although given the young woman’s circumstances – all three of her children have died, she lives in a refugee camp they call the “mini caliphate”, and is thought of only periodically by her countrymen in order to be pilloried then forgotten again – it would be foolish to try to guess at her levels of resilience or despair.

The judges were careful to stress that the ruling didn’t represent any comment on the sympathy or otherwise it was reasonable to have for Begum – rather, that there was nothing unlawful in Sajid Javid’s deprivation decision . The ruling hadn’t failed to take into account that Begum had been groomed and trafficked, which would have put it in breach of the UK’s anti-slavery protections, and was the contention of her appeal.

Judges to decide whether revoking citizenship of teenager who joined Islamic State was unlawful

Shamima Begum, who left the UK as a 15-year-old schoolgirl to join Islamic State is to find out whether her appeal against the removal of her UK citizenship has been successful.

Three court of appeal judges, including the chief justice, Sue Carr, will rule on Friday whether the home secretary’s revocation of her citizenship, on the basis that it was “conducive to the public good”, and the special immigration appeals commission’s (Siac) ruling to uphold his decision, were unlawful.
