Tom Hayes Gets UK Top Court Appeal Over Libor Conviction.

Former trader Tom Hayes, who was at the center of the Libor scandal, has been granted permission by the UK Supreme Court to appeal his conviction. The Court of Appeal had previously ruled that Hayes' conviction for interest rate-rigging should stand, but his lawyers argue that the UK is now the only country where this is considered a crime. Hayes maintains that what he did was not a criminal offense. The Supreme Court has confirmed that permission to appeal has been granted and the case will be listed at a later date.
