Ian Bailey drug-driving conviction appeal adjourned

Judge said another case was likely to run until late afternoon and it would not be fair to expect witnesses in Mr Bailey’s case to give evidence at a hearing which could go on until 7pm or 8pm on a Friday evening

Ian Bailey’s appeal against a drug-driving conviction and other counts which was due to go ahead on Friday had to be adjourned until January 2022.
