Henderson v Cleveland Constabulary: CA 27 Feb 2001

The court was asked ‘Do the police have a discretion as to when to execute a default warrant for non-payment of a fine issued by a magistrates’ court? If so, can they lawfully exercise that discretion in such a way as to delay execution of the default warrant in order to provide time in which to complete investigations relating to an offence for which a suspect has been arrested?’
