RCPO v Woolley Review
Rupert Jones's recent Court of Appeal case of RCPO v Woolley has been reported on Lawtel and Westlaw. The case, which involved a judicial review from Birmingham Magistrates' Court focussed on Revenue and Customs application for judicial review of a decision of the defendant magistrates' court to adjourn confiscation enforcement proceedings in a matter where the Extradition Act applied. The Court upheld Revenue and Customs complaint and found that there was no abuse of process involved in proceedings to enforce the default term, notwithstanding the misunderstanding of the position by the Swiss authorities. Rupert, who is a leading member of chambers' Asset Forfeiture Group, appeared as junior counsel for the RCPO.
