Jennie Oborne successfully represents the Commissioner of Police in  “bomb disposal” trial.

Jennie Oborne acted for the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis in respect of a claim brought by a man whose car was subject to a controlled explosion by police outside the City of London Magistrates’ Court. The Claimant alleged direct and indirect discrimination, breaches of Article 8, A1 and A14 of the European Convention on Human Rights and Trespass to Goods.

Following a three day trial, HHJ Ashby at the Central London County Court dismissed the Claimant’s claim in its entirety and permitted the Commissioner to enforce 60% of its costs pursuant to CPR 44.16.

Jennie was instructed by Andrew Steel of Weightmans LLP.
