• Ten former Trathens managers are to be tried at Bristol Crown Court for allegedly conspiring to falsify tachograph records.
At the prosecution's requet, a High Court judge has granted a voluntary Bill of Indictment, which takes the case straight to the Crown Court for trial by judge and jury without the usual committal proceedings before magistrates.
The defendents are: Keith Roper of Church Road, Cowley, Uxbridge; Graham Masters of Horrabridge Yelverton; David Trathen of Down Road, Tavistock; Michael Trathen of Green Lane, Yelverton; James Bennett, of Merrivale View Road, Dousland, Yelverton; Nigel Fox of Kings St Stamerton Road, Plymouth; Kenneth Smith of Heriot Road, Chertsey; David Gordon of Mayfield Close, Carterton; Michael Scaife of Leat Walk, Plymouth and Christopher Shaw of Lower Boston Road, Hanwell. They are all accused of conspiring with their drivers to falsify the company's tachograph records.
