Chris Huhne may be charged within weeks

 

Sources at the Crown Prosecution Service said they expect a decision to be taken in “weeks rather than months”. The publishers of the Sunday Times today dropped their challenge to a police bid to obtain emails relating to the Chris Huhne speeding case. Times Newspapers Ltd were expected to ask the High Court in London to quash a Crown Court order requiring production of the emails to Essex Police. Times lawyers also wanted Lord Justice Toulson and Mr Justice Cranston to declare that a judge sitting at Chelmsford Crown Court erred in law when he issued the order last October. The case concerns emails between Vicky Pryce, Mr Huhne's ex-wife, and Isabel Oakeshott, the Sunday Times political editor.
