Reported Cases

HOUSE OF LORDS
R (On application of SACKER) v HM Coroner for the County of West Yorkshire (2004) [2004] UKHL 11
In the context of an inquest into a prisoner's death, the word "how", as given in the Coroners Act 1988 s.11(5)(b)(ii) and Coroners Rules 1984 r.36(1)(b), was not simply to be interpreted as meaning "by what means" but rather "by what means and in what circumstances."

H (A Child) (2005) [2005] ECWA Civ 1059
Case involving the re-evalution of evidence concerning whether the child's father was within a pool of possible peretrators of abuse of his daughter and the subsequent disclosure of a collusive relationship between a child protection teacher and the child's mother.

Re U (A Child) (2005), sub nom Uddin (Layla)(A Child) [2005] EWCA Civ 52
Successfully applied to re-open an appeal on the grounds of fresh evidence and demonstrated a powerful probability that an erroneous result was arrived at in the earlier proceedings.

R v Davies (2004) [2004] EWHC2422 (QB)
Trial Counsel had not acted contrary to reason and good sense in failing to object to the admissibility of certain visual and voice recognition evidence. The trial judge's summing up in respect of the visual recognition evidence could not be faulted.
