APPEALS

Dan is currently advising and reviewing in several matters, and has previously appeared before the Court of Appeal criminal division, in a number of cases in which he was not involved at first instance. This representation has resulted in the reduction of the sentences imposed and the successful overturning of convictions. Examples include:

Advice and successful conduct of Criminal Appeal (when not counsel at first instance), giving rise to the authority of Pommell [1999] Crim.L.R. 576 (similar fact and bad character prior to CJA provisions).

The successful opposition to a reference conducted by the Attorney General himself (application for an extended sentence and/or longer term of imprisonment) – Rooke and Others (2014)
