The Corner House (organisation)
The Corner House is a not for profit company limited by guarantee founded in 1997 in the United Kingdom.[2] The High Court initially declared the Serious Fraud Office's discontinuation unlawful in April 2008, but this decision was unanimously reversed by the House of Lords in July of the same year.The principle had already been established in Khalid that where the Crown had no choice, a prosecution could be dropped in the face of an extreme threat.[4] In April 2008 the High Court of Justice ruled that the Serious Fraud Office had acted unlawfully in dropping the investigation for failing to do so.As a matter of principle, they ruled the courts could only declare the decision unlawful if it was outside of the Director's power, not merely unreasonable.
