The news that the CEO of the CCRC has resigned is another welcome step but ultimately only significant reform and improvements in casework will prove that the CCRC can once again be a body the public can have confidence in https://t.co/OLGtWWpjPX

Brilliant article from the Guardian as decision time looms for this case - it’s time for this case to return to the Court of Appeal https://t.co/JrW1656NZc

important proposals from the Law Commission . Proposals to remove the requirement to prove beyond reasonable doubt innocence for miscarriage compensation cases supporting much of what we said in the Strasbourg Challenge - time to put it right Criminal appeals - Law Commission

[Mark Newby @MarkNewbyqsj]

We welcome the payment to Andy Malkinson but you are right to raise a question about Victor Nealon and Sam Hallam . I can simply say the issue which is complex is on our radar and we will say more next week on behalf of Victor Nealon

While we are absolutely delighted that Mr. Malkinson has won his statutory compensation claim, this decision raises the question of why a nearly identical case—that of Victor Nealon—led to the opposite outcome, with compensation being denied.

@CrimApLawAssoc Hope it’s a great day sorry I can’t attend due to family matters

Yesterday marked the end of an era as I stepped down from my role on the Law Society Scrutiny and Performance Review Committee after serving as its Chair for the past 3 years . What a privilege and fantastic learning curve it was https://t.co/3NLd8k33Xn

I have it on audible so I can indoctrinate passengers in my car who are unable then to escape the insanity of our system and the common sense of the book

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

It doesn’t get any less insane seeing this in print.

It’s a book about *law*, for crying out loud. Written by somebody who - I have it on very good authority from a number of legitimately concerned citizens - isn’t even a real barrister.

Happy Sunday to you all x

New @NewYorker investigation into Bamber case reveals ‘significant' police failings. 'We have clearest evidence that the crime scene was interfered with by senior officers,' says @MarkNewbyqsj who is ‘deeply concerned’ at lack of progress at CCRC https://t.co/kwthEfPNkX

[Heidi Blake @HeidilBlake]

Jeremy Bamber has served 39 years for England's most infamous family massacre. As the Criminal Cases Review Commission faces scrutiny over multiple wrongful convictions, is the Bamber case Britain's longest miscarriage of justice? My latest for @NewYorker. https://t.co/KVPX1IT7bh

Perfect bill to slot a reform of miscarriage of justice compensation into as labour opposed the coalition govt changes which deny virtually all compensation

[John Hyde @JohnHyde1982]

The Crime and Policing Bill, Victims, Courts and Public Protection Bill will need watching. Seems an (almost ominously) wide-ranging name. Scope for all sorts of tucked-away measures. #KingsSpeech

[Mark Newby @MarkNewbyqsj]

Great result for labour but …….a peerage for Chris Grayling …….

A really good article on todays devastating result and how the true nature of the impossible uk miscarriage compensation scheme is fully exposed by it

[The Justice Gap @justicegap.bsky.social @JusticeGap]

Miscarriage of justice compensation scheme ‘virtually insurmountable’ hurdle, says Strasbourg. European Court of Human Rights rules against Sam Hallam & Victor Nealon; BUT acknowledges govt ducked 'moral obligation' to wrongly convicted. The fight goes on https://t.co/yvfKufL6LS

[Mark Newby @MarkNewbyqsj]

The fight does go on and one we must now take to the new Govt as we cannot appeal a Grand Chamber decision

[The Justice Gap @justicegap.bsky.social @JusticeGap]

A disappointing ruling from Strasbourg. it is a self evidently appalling law – and needs to be scrapped. The fight goes on.

[Mark Newby @MarkNewbyqsj]

In the dissenting judgment the Court described the current scheme as presenting a virtually insurmountable hurdle to applicants #miscariagecompensation
