R v D
Katie’s client had a dispute with his neighbour which resulted in him being assaulted with a shovel.
The police refused to take action, and Katie was instructed to advise on the prospects of bringing private prosecution proceedings, against her client’s neighbour. Katie reviewed the evidence and considered the selection of charges. She ultimately provided positive advice on bringing private prosecution proceedings for various offences of harassment and assault.
Katie regularly advises corporate entities in relation to private prosecutions and disputes arising from parallel civil proceedings.
