Disclosure

Lin and another v Commissioner of Police [2015] EWHC 2484 (QB), [2015] All ER (D) 108 (Aug)

The Queen’s Bench Division dismissed an application by two Burmese men accused of murdering British citizens in Thailand to view a report compiled by a British police team relating to the Thai investigation. The court held that there was nothing in the data sought that would be of real value to the claimants, and that the objections raised to disclosure had been valid.
