Recent Key Case Highlights
- When representing a client arrested and held at a police station on suspicion of harassment, Liam correctly identified that a large quantity of digital devices had been illegally seized by the police. Upon making this discovery, Liam made robust representations to the Custody Sergeant, resulting in the immediate return of all devices
- Having represented a client arrested on suspicion of serious sexual offences, they were bailed to return to the police station whilst further investigative enquiries were carried out. The police failed to adhere to certain statutory guidance, and Liam was able to swiftly identify this. Upon doing so, he liaised with a Detective Inspector and made representations for his client’s bail to be cancelled, meaning that they would not be subject to any conditions or a requirement to return to the police station in the future. These representations were successful, thereby advancing the client’s interests
