Law firms ranked by client reviews
Wrongful arrest and false imprisonment in England covers claims that police unlawfully detain or arrest someone, breaching the person’s rights under common law and, where relevant, the Human Rights Act 1998. A solicitor in this area reviews the arrest process, gathers evidence such as witness statements, police logs, CCTV, and medical reports, and may warn or negotiate on liability and damages. They then issue and pursue a claim for damages in the County Court or High Court, on the client’s behalf, often seeking compensation for distress, time spent detained, and any financial losses caused by the detention.
Where a solicitor protects your position
If the arrest is found unlawful, the solicitor can pursue damages for breach of fundamental rights and the consequences of detention, including any impact on employment or health. They manage evidence, liability issues, and procedural steps, ensuring compliance with court rules and exploring any settlement opportunities.
