Niamh Ingham successfully defends a client charged with 3 counts of being the owner of a dog which caused injury while dangerously out of control.

Following a 4 day trial at Preston Crown Court, during which the Prosecution offered no evidence in respect of one of the charges after cross-examination, the Judge accepted Miss Ingham’s submission that there was no case to answer at the close of the Prosecution case. Miss Ingham successfully ran a ’trespasser’ defence and relied on the case of Robinson-Pierre [2014] 1 Cr App R 22 to argue that there was no causal connection between the actions of the Defendant and the incidents that followed.

Miss Ingham was instructed by Holdens Law, whom we thank for their instruction.
