DCCC 1424/2024: Court Rules No Case to Answer

We are pleased to have secured a successful No Case to Answer ruling on behalf of our client, who was accused of robbery of “one thing”.

Mr. Edward McGuinniety was the Counsel and Our Mr. Dosani Mehboobali Ahmedali was the instructing Solicitor. The able advocacy of Mr. McGuinniety was instrumental in securing the ruling, following detailed preparation and careful analysis of the prosecution evidence by the defence team.

In reaching its decision, the court considered the prosecution's evidence at its highest, including CCTV footage that had been the subject of dispute. Applying the established legal test—whether a reasonable jury, properly directed, could convict on the evidence presented—the court found that the prosecution had failed to establish sufficient evidence on an essential element of the offence.

There was no or no sufficient evidence capable of proving what, if anything, had been stolen.

This outcome reflects the importance of rigorous case analysis, careful advocacy, and ensuring that criminal proceedings are supported by evidence on every element of the alleged offence.

We are proud to have achieved this result for our client.
