Tom Edwards was recently instructed in a serious case of causing grievous bodily harm with intent. The complainant suffered horrific injuries having been struck by a motor vehicle driven by the first defendant. He sustained a broken leg and a wound from the elbow to his forearm graphically exposing his bone and subcutaneous tissue. The crown’s allegation involved a planned attack where the defendants waited in ambush for the complainant. Following a detailed skeleton argument with submissions on joint-enterprise and the basis of the charges, the Prosecution did not resist the application, offering no evidence against Tom’s client at Basildon Crown Court.
Tom was instructed by Karamjit Singh of Holborn Law.
