Presumed Innocent
15 March 2019
Justin Harvey-Hills (Partner, Jersey), Mathew Cook (Counsel, Jersey) and Michael Edwards (Trainee, Jersey) have recently succeeded in the rare feat of obtaining leave to apply for judicial review of a production notice (the Notice) issued by HM Attorney General (the AG) under the Investigation of Fraud (Jersey) Law 1991 (the 1991 Law). The case raises important issues under Articles 6 and 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (the ECHR) relating to the presumption of innocence following an acquittal.
