Queensman
ADC

My prediction* on the outcome (T&Cs apply):
The hearing will continue for its set four weeks. By week 3 it will start to resemble a show trial. However, General Nick will be then found Not Guilty and the Army/MoD will be able to claim that they’ve shown that they’re not afraid to prosecute this sort of thing. Following the case there will be root & branch (and frankly, long overdue) changes to the CEA system.
Hopefully someone will then submit a FOA request to discover the total cost of the hearing to the taxpayer. Probably considerably more than the proceeds of the alleged fraud.
(*subject to daily review!)
