High Court dismisses a judicial review application by a defendant in a money laundering case, who claimed that the absence of Internet Protocol (IP) address evidence compromised his ability to receive a fair trial, on the grounds that the unavailability of the IP addresses did not significantly risk the fairness of the trial as the defendant could still present a full defense; and the delay in bringing the application was detrimental to the defendant's case.
