#34 Arrest gone wrong, or wrongful arrest?

On this episode - we have the return of the Divinegate... listeners may remember we looked at a jurisdictional preliminary issue regarding arrest on this case a while back. Now the High Court Judgment is with us.There was not a lot of quantum in dispute, but we're glad this case was run, because it has given us a really interesting judgment on two distinct points:1 - Speed and Performance - particularly the application of a current factor. Some 'new law' on that in this Judgment.2 - Wrongful arrest - The arresting party got the arrest 'wrong'. There was no question of that. But how 'wrong' do you have to be to be 'wrongful'? A very interesting question, and one that might cause a bit of debate.We're very interested to hear thoughts from any of our listeners on this one!
