Tom Hayes, the former UBS Group AG trader given a 14 year-prison term for manipulating Libor, returns to court this week to try to persuade the U.K.’s top judge to overturn one of the longest sentences ever issued in Britain for a white-collar crime.
The 36-year-old Hayes’s appeal will take place at a two-day hearing starting Tuesday in London. While Hayes is challenging both the August conviction and sentence, the prison term might get more attention from the court.
