Polly Dyer represented a care worker charged with 13 counts of fraud. She was accused of making a variety of fraudulent transactions using the bank cards of one of the individuals for whom she cared. The case was document heavy and involved exploring the issue of the reliability of the complainant's memory and the instruction of a variety of experts.

The defendant strenuously denied the allegations and faced an inevitable term of imprisonment if convicted. The prosecution ended up offering no evidence on all 13 counts during the course of half-time submissions.
