LONDON: The Sheffield Crown Court has ruled that sex allegations trial against Lord Nazir Ahmed cannot go ahead anymore due to “disgraceful” actions of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and a systematic failure that has not only caused the trial to collapse but also put the three defendants at disadvantage over sexual assaults allegations dating back more than half a century.
On February 26 2021, Judge Jeremy Richardson QC, sitting at the Sheffield Crown Court, discharged the jury in the trial of former Labour peer Lord Nazir but there was a reporting ban until the judgment was made public. Judge Jeremy Richardson QC said prosecutors had behaved in a disgraceful way and had “sabotaged this trial and caused it to abort” as the process of disclosures was “disgraceful”.
