R v JB – Possession of an Offensive Weapon at Bromley Magistrates Court – 2022

Navigate to the next section

The client was charged with being in possession of offensive weapons in a private place.

The Crown described both knives as “zombie knives”, the possession of which in a private place (the client’s home) is prohibited by section 141 (1A) of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 as amended by section 46 of the Offensive Weapons Act 2019. The Defence drafted representations submitting that neither of the knives met the statutory definition of a “zombie knife”. The representations were successful resulting in the case being discontinued before trial.
