King's Counsel Vincent Nelson has lost a second appeal over his conviction for participating in an alleged legal fee kickback scheme.

Appellate Judges Nolan Bereaux, James Aboud, and Geoffrey Henderson dismissed Nelson's appeal this morning, citing his delay in filing it after pleading guilty to a string of corruption offences and being sentenced in 2019.

The three-member panel reviewed Nelson's case after Appellate Judge Mark Mohammed had initially rejected the appeal last year.
