Human rights

Ibrahim and others v United Kingdom (App. Nos. 50541/08, 50571/08, 50573/08 and 40351/09) [2016] All ER (D) 57 (Sep)

The Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights held, among other things, that the UK had failed to demonstrate why the overall fairness of the fourth applicant’s trial, for assisting a conspirator in the detonation of four bombs on three underground trains and a bus in central London, which failed to explode and failing to disclose information, had not been irretrievably prejudiced by the decision not to caution him and to restrict his access to legal advice.
