Andrew Campbell-Tiech QC and Gavin Irwin apeared for the appellant, Raymond May, in what is now the leading case on the scope of the definition of benefit from the proceeds of crime.  It has far-reaching consequences.

May was a principal in a substantial MTIC carousel fraud.  The Report of the House makes fundamental changes to the confiscation landscape by expressly stating that those who do not have a power of disposal over the criminal property which passes through their hands cannot be said to have obtained it.  If not obtained by them, they did not benefit to its value.
