- Gruban v Booth was a 1917 fraud case in England that generated significant publicity because the defendant, Frederick Handel Booth, was a Member of Parliament. Gruban was a German-born businessman who ran several factories that made tools for manufacturing munitions for the First World War. In an effort to find government contracts and money to expand his business, he contacted a businessman and MP, Frederick Handel Booth, who willingly promised both. Booth sought agreement from Gruban to have 10% of a large order's price, to be hidden from the rest of the Board; tricked Gruban into transferring the company, and had him interned under wartime regulations to prevent a claim against him. Gruban successfully appealed against his internment and as soon as he was freed brought Booth to court. The case was so popular that the involved barristers found it physically difficult to get into the court each day because of the size of the crowds gathered outside. Although those on both sides were noted for their skill, the case went almost entirely one way, with the jury taking only ten minutes to find Booth guilty. It was one of the first noted cases of Patrick Hastings, and his victory in it led to him applying to become a King's Counsel. (en)
- 格鲁班诉布斯案（英語：Gruban v Booth）是1917年在英國發生的一起欺詐案，由於被告人是一位英國國會議員，因此該起案件引起了很大關注。案件原告格魯班是一名出生於德國的商人，經營幾家為第一次世界大战製造彈藥的工廠。為尋求擴大業務所需的政府合同與資金，他找到了英國國會議員兼商人弗雷德里克·亨德爾·布斯，布斯願意為他達成這兩個目標，並向格魯班徵求同意，以獲得一份高於原合同10%價格的新合同。同時隱瞞格魯班的公司董事會成員，欺騙格魯班將公司轉讓，並根據戰時條例將其以防止有人向自己索要賠償。 格魯班後來因自己被拘留一事獲法庭判決勝訴，并在獲釋之後將被告布斯帶到了法庭。該起案件非常受人關注，以至於參與訴訟的大律師因法庭外擠滿了大量的人群而導致每天很難進入法庭。儘管判決雙方的律師均得名於自己高超的辯護技巧，然而此案件的進展卻幾乎完全是以另外一種方式展開，陪審團僅僅只用了10分鐘的時間就認定布斯有罪。該起案件也使得受到關注，他因在此案件取得勝訴而成爲御用大律師。 (zh)
