    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC444/1988

    The Court held the jury were properly directed: dishonest concealment that places the economic interests or proprietary rights of others at risk suffices for conspiracy to defraud even if the primary motive was to save the bank and actual loss was not intended; the summing up taken as a whole properly distinguished dishonesty from mere imprudence and did not mislead the jury; conviction stands.
