John Oliver, led by Queen’s Counsel, successfully defended one of four defendants alleged to have been involved in the country’s "biggest ever" domestic burglary, in which jewellery and cash worth in excess of £30m were stolen from well-known individuals and celebrities in December 2019.   
 
The seven-week trial took place amid stringent social-distancing measures at Isleworth Crown Court. 
 
John was instructed by Moorique Newman of Lawrence & Co solicitors.
