The Claimant claimed for damages for trespass to premises, contending that the entry and search of his premises was unlawful (whether in itself or because he was assaulted during the course of entry); for trespass to the person, in that he was unlawfully handcuffed and deliberately kicked in the right eye and deliberately struck to the right ankle; alternatively that these injuries were inflicted from a want of proper care for his safety and in breach of a duty of care owed to him by officers entering the flat; and for false imprisonment, ‘for approximately 4 hours and 14 minutes between 13.55 hours and 18.09 hours’.
