JUSTICE UNSCRIPTED Delighted with my new column on global law news for Law News Day First one from London: Miscarriages of Justice: Cases Blocked by the Court of Appeal in England and Wales lawnewsday.com/miscarriages...

This was an incredibly powerful session on race and #jointenterprise - very proud to be counsel assisting this Westminster Commission

Session on #jointenterprise and race issues at the Westminster Commission this evening - see below on how you can contribute

The voices of those with lived experience of #jointenterprise are at the heart of the Westminster Commission on JE. Lawyers know it’s wrong, academics know it’s wrong. Even the Supreme Court acknowledged the law took a #wrongturn. Those who have had their lives ruined finally have a voice 👇🏽

And here’s my speech on the courts losing sight of justice on these very issue back in July 2018 netk.net.au/CCRC/CCRC10....

A test imposed by the UK Supreme Court in Jogee without hearing argument has been interpreted in a way that causes miscarriages of justice- note - the then LCJ sat in the UKSC in Jogee & on Johnson which interpreted & applied the “substantial injustice” test-very [email protected]

Law Commission is right on test that has affected so many #jointenterprise prisoners : “it is strongly arguable that the development of “substantial injustice” as a practice or test has become a real obstacle to the correction of miscarriages of justice, and that the law should be reformed”

looking forward to the hearing of the Westminster Commsiion on #jointenterprise on Monday - I am counsel assisting - bringing together the commissioners and the panels. Monday is in the race issues www.thejusticegap.com/29805-2/

Yes please :)

Hardest of cases to sort out but IPP situation is appalling!!
