Hickman & Rose appeal wins Global Investigations Review’s ‘most important case of the year’

Hickman & Rose’s landmark appeal to the Supreme Court in relation to LIBOR and EURIBOR has won Global Investigations Review’s ‘Most Important Court Case of the Year‘.

Ben Rose, Tom Bushnell and Nisha Patel represented Carlo Palombo in his successful Supreme Court appeal against a fraud conviction related to alleged EURIBOR manipulation. Counsel instructed by Hickman & Rose were Tim Owen KC, Jonathan Crow CVO, KC; Katherine Hardcastle; Tim James-Matthews; and Elizabeth Walsh.

The court heard Carlo’s case alongside that of Tom Hayes who was represented by Karen Todner and counsel Adrian Darbishire KC and Tom Doble.

As GIR wrote: “After a decade-long legal battle, the UK’s top court quashed the convictions, opening the door to appeals for other individuals convicted over similar conduct.” There are seven such individuals left, and the same team at Hickman & Rose represent four of them.

Representatives from GIR presented the award to Ben and other members of the legal teams at a ceremony in Washington DC last week.
