How can I find out about a case in Knightsbridge Crown Court in the early 1980's.  Are transcripts of the case public documents and how can I find them?

I have the plaintiffs name.  I've had a bit of a search around t'internet but drawn a blank.

Thanks for your help.

If it made the national newspapers I could possibly be of help, but I definitely have no access to courtroom transcripts. For data that is supposedly 'public', the authorities don't like plebs like us having free access to it. Notoriously difficult to have, unless you are in the legal elite.   

If you wish, contact me using the Messaging System?

Anyway, brief details as follows...  definitely in public arena


case was at Knightsbridge Crown Court.  Plaintiff was Ann (Anne ?) Sriganagand (sp?).  She stole money through fraud - worked in accounts dept at Brooks's Club in St James's.  Found guilty and got prison. (1980, 81, 82 time from from memory).  Did make Daily Express or Mail, can't remember which, maybe others.

You could try the All England Law Report but you'll need to visit a decent reference library.

Sorry - forget that. It only covers the HOL, COA and the High Court.

Got to put this back to the top.

Wise forumites were obviously out yesterday - raging against Trump no doubt.

Only Alun2005 was very helpful.

Delta said not to marry the woman who committed the crime - not really the answer I was looking for.

And I agree with Nick had a go and withdrew, but at least he tried.

Must be some lawyers out there on the forum who can help.  Doesn't matter if you've been disbarred.

casemoney, it's the case I'm interested in, not her.

Although Delta helpfully advised me not to marry her.  ConfusedConfused
