TESTIMONIALS, FEEDBACK AND CLIENT CARE

Occassionally we receive unprompted feedback, which is fantastic. Here are some of note:

“I distinctly remember leaving the conference feeling very reassured that I would have strong representation”

“..closing speech was outstanding… carefully contructed, delivered in a very logical and coherent manner and assertiveness which succeeded in connecting with the jury”

“The difference that you brought to the case was hugely appreciated. I have no doubt that it was your skill and advice that provoked the quilty pleas, the best possible result”

The Management Team welcomes feedback, whether it be praise or complaint. Feedback Form

R v. Magro and Others – On the 8 July 2010 the Court of Appeal, of a five judge constitution, delivered a judgement implicitly disagreeing with the reasoning and the decision of a three judge constitution in R v. Clarke [2009] EWCA Crim 1074.  However, in deference to the doctrine of precedence, the Court declared itself bound by the decision in Clarke, leaving it to the Supreme Court to consider if Clarke was wrongly decided.

The Court of Appeal’s reasoning in Magro clearly suggested that a confiscation order under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 may be made at the time of making an order of Conditional or Absolute Discharge.

On 2 July 2010 Mohammed Khalil successfully appealed the sentence of Imprisonment for Public Protection passed upon him by the Crown Court sitting at Bolton for offences of Causing Grievous Bodily Harm with Intent and Possession of a Firearm with Intent. The Court of Appeal substituted a sentence of 9 ½ years imprisonment with an extension of licence for 3 years. He was represented by Ahmed Nadim.

The Court of Appeal re-affirmed its decision in Attorney General’s Reference No.55 of 2008 by confirming the discretionary nature of sentence of Imprisonment for Public Protection. It was described as, apart from life imprisonment, the most draconian sentence available to a court and as such it is sentence of last, but one resort.
