Superb Acquittal for Lewis Nedas

Jeffrey Lewis acted for an individual who was tried concerning an allegation of kidnapping. Our client along with a number of others found that an employee of theirs had stolen from the firm and colleagues. They took him in a car to the local police station but when they arrived there the alleged victim claimed that he had been kidnapped. Our client gave a full detailed explanation in interview, as did the other defendants, but still the police and the CPS decided to charge. Our client was duly acquitted by a Basildon jury. He was superbly represented by Martin Lewis of counsel (Castle Chambers).

Yet Another Spectacular Acquittal for Lewis Nedas

Jeffrey Lewis and Cheryl Rudden acted for Adrian Dodson, the former British, commonwealth and world boxing champion, who faced trial concerning an allegation of causing grievous bodily harm with intent. He was brilliantly represented by Michael Levy of counsel (2 Bedford Row) and acquitted of all charges.

Respected Gun Dealer Faces Test Prosecution

Laura Saunsbury has been instructed by a well-known London firearms dealer to defend him in a Crown Court trial. He faces charges relating to the transfer of a firearm from himself as a registered dealer to himself as holder of the club firearms certificate for the gun club of which he is the honorary secretary. There is no question that our client was in lawful possession of the firearm in his capacity as a dealer but the police say gun clubs cannot be authorised to possess firearms of this type. The case is likely to become a test case as to what types of firearms can be possessed by gun clubs. It will therefore be followed with interest by gun clubs and the shooting fraternity across England and Wales.

Police Forced to Return Property Seized Illegally

Laura Saunsbury secured the return of property seized under an illegal search warrant. Her client is a respected London firearms dealer who is also the honorary officer of his local gun club and the secretary of a national shooting organisation which exists to promote justice for the shooting fraternity. He has faced closed attention from the Police in recent months and a search warrant was recently obtained authorising the seizure of computers and other property from the home of our client. Laura Saunsbury, head of our firearms law department, is firmly of the view that warrant was improperly obtained. Whilst the Police made no admissions of liability, following her strenuous representations and consultations with their own lawyers, the Police agreed little more than a fortnight later to restore all of the property seized.
