The claimants had alleged assault by police officers when the officers, searching for an armed suspect, had pointed guns at them, and detained them. The officers had however entered the wrong flat. The jury returned verdicts saying that the officers had acted reasonably if mistakenly. The claimants now said that the senior officers remained responsible for the mistakes of their juniors.
