Doughty Street Chambers is hosting two seminars for criminal solicitors in London (29 March and 27 April). These sessions will look at some of the issues that may arise in a criminal case which potentially lay the foundations of a civil claim against the police or other prosecuting authority. Heather Williams QC and Joel Bennathan QC introduce some of the topics which will be addressed, including: the kinds of claims available (civil damages claims judicial review, etc) and how claims can be funded; where to find relevant procedural rules and key law; the basics on how to make valid claims of false imprisonment and malicious prosecution, and; an introduction to claims arising from police searches, and seizures and retention of property.
