Notable Cases

Our client, who was charged with attempted burglary and threatening behaviour, had both charges discontinued after our representations demonstrated that he was suffering from psychosis at the time of the alleged offences, meaning the evidential test for attempted burglary was not met and prosecution was not in the public interest.

Our client, charged with a Section 4 Public Order offence arising from an altercation at a football match, was formally acquitted after our representations demonstrated he had acted in self-defence, leading the CPS to offer no evidence and discontinue the case.

Our client, charged with threatening behaviour during a bipolar episode, had the case discontinued after our representations showed he lacked intent and prosecution was not in the public interest.
