Following intense cross-examination of the prosecution’s technical expert and after a week of legal argument and evidence at Manchester’s Minshull Street Crown Court, Oldham Trading Standards who had brought the case, decided to offer no further evidence against Mr Miller and the trial Judge instructed the jury to find him “not guilty” on all nine counts relating to the sale of allegedly dangerous quad bikes. The Judge also ordered that the costs of Mr Miller’s defence should be paid for out of Central Funds.
Mr Miller’s case was prepared by Alan Neal of Burton Copeland’s Commercial Fraud Department.
