R (on the application of Griffin) v Richmond Magistrates’ Court [2008] EWHC 84 (Admin), [2008] All ER (D) 181 (Jan)
A defendant charged with failing to deliver up books and papers in the course of the winding-up of a company and who raised the statutory defence of no intent to defraud (s 208(4)(a) of the Insolvency Act 1986) bears a legal burden rather than an evidential one.
