This is quite a long and involved judgement, but an old friend of the site appears.

The bit I like was when the judge says;
I should mention that, at paragraph 9 of his judgment, the judge recorded that he was far from convinced that any of the principal witnesses before him, Mr Blackmore, Mr Richardson, Mr Wheeler (by way of a witness statement only), Mr Cummings and Ms Donnachie, were wholly reliable witnesses. He said:
"Each was demonstrated to be unreliable by the process of cross examination or by comparison of their evidence with contemporaneous documents. In this unhappy state of affairs I adopt the approach of accepting the evidence of the principals only when it was supported by cogent evidence or where the probabilities were strongly in its favour".
