Tesco document disclosure ruling will make parties “think twice” about cooperating with SFO
BCL partner, Richard Sallybanks speaks to James Thomas of Global Investigations Review (GIR) about the possible repercussions of a UK judge’s decision to force retailer Tesco to hand over documents in a civil case that it obtained from the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) in a separate criminal matter.

Richard Sallybanks, partner at BCL Solicitors representing John Scouler, said: “We are delighted that Mr Scouler leaves court today knowing that the judge, having heard the entirety of the prosecution evidence, reached the firm conclusion that he had no case to answer.”
“That decision was obviously correct yet the SFO chose to pursue an appeal which was rejected yesterday.”
