“Where a person who was the subject of a property freezing order made under Part 5 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 applied for the order to be varied so as to permit him to apply some of his assets which were the subject of the order in paying for his legal expenses, he was under no specific burden of proof requiring him to prove that there were no other available assets which could be used for the relevant purpose, such that if he did not discharge the burden his application must fail.”

“We’ve all been there. Perhaps more frequently, litigants in person have been there (although hopefully not the same LiP over and over again). A warrant for possession is due to be executed the next day. It may even be the same day. The occupier has applied to a District Judge to suspend the warrant. The District Judge has, rightly or wrongly, dismissed that application. The occupier, understandably (even more so if the DJ fell into the ‘wrongly’ category), wants to appeal that decision.”

Regina v Hughes [2013] UKSC 56; [2013] WLR (D) 324
“When a defendant who was uninsured, unlicensed or disqualified was driving his vehicle on a road and it was involved in a collision which resulted in the death of another person, the defendant could not be found guilty of the offence under section 3ZB of the Road Traffic Act 1988, as inserted, of causing the death by driving while committing such offences unless the prosecution proved that there had been some act or omission in the defendant’s driving which amounted to fault his part and which had contributed to the death. If the defendant’s driving had been faultless he could not be found guilty of the offence merely because his vehicle was on the road and was involved in a fatal accident when he was driving without insurance or a driving licence.”
