In the absence of expert evidence to the contrary, the
judge accepted the evidence of Colin Todd and Lin
Parry to the effect that the prosecution case was
founded on an incompetent inspection of the
premises. The judge also found that this incompetence was compounded by a (not deliberate) misstatement by the FRA’s investigating officer that there were
no intumescent strips. Further, the FRA expert subsequently appointed did not engage properly with the
two crucial points, namely the issue of the intumescent strips and the lack of an inspection within the
flats. The judge found that the prosecution should
never have been started.
