Goldsmith defends jury-free fraud trials move / The Independent, 21 Jun 2005

"Plans to abolish juries in complex fraud trials do not amount to a general attack on jury trial, the Attorney General insisted today.
Lord Goldsmith QC unveiled plans to enact a change in the law which was passed by Parliament more than 18 months ago.
It will allow a single judge to sit on complex fraud trials, forsaking the 800-year-old tradition that defendants are tried by a panel of 12 jurors."
