- ... that barrister Richard Du Cann acted for the defence in the Lady Chatterley's Lover obscenity trial and the trial of John Stonehouse MP?
- Source: "His workload was prodigious and there were many causes celebres in which he was briefed, both as a junior and in Silk. The indictment of DH Lawrence's book Lady Chatterley's Lover, the Calvi Inquest and the Blue Arrow fraud case are indicative of the range of his practice and the reputation he possessed among his clients, lay and professional." from: Nutting, John (7 August 1994). "Obituary: Richard Du Cann". The Independent. Retrieved 10 November 2024. and "The arrest led to his eventual deportation to England and a 1976 Old Bailey trial for fraud, theft and deception after which he was convicted and jailed. Originally represented by barristers Richard du Cann and Geoffrey Robertson, he decided to defend himself." from: Campbell, Duncan (16 December 2022).
