High Court Judgement

Nick Brett recently acted for all three claimants in the case of Scopelight Ltd & Ors v Chief of Police for Northumbria & Ors [2009] EWHC 958 (QB) (07 May 2009) in which the High Court ruled last week that the police cannot, as a matter of law, retain property on behalf of a further private prosecutor under PACE 1984, once a decision not to prosecute has been taken.
