Faulkner, Regina (on The Application of) v Director of Legal Aid Casework: Admn 8 Mar 2016

Claim in judicial review proceedings concerning a sum of andpound;6,500. This sum of andpound;6,500 was awarded to him in damages for unlawful State detention in contravention of Article 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights by the Supreme Court on 1 May 2013. The question that falls for decision is whether Mr Faulkner should receive that sum of andpound;6,500 intact or whether it should be subjected to the Legal Aid Statutory Charge which would result in him receiving nothing.
