More Success for George Hepburne-Scott in High Court Extradition Appeal

On 25th October 2017, having heard submissions from George Hepburne-Scott, Sir Wyn Williams quashed the Extradition Order in the case of M.M. v Poland (CO/1782/2017) and the Appellant was discharged. She will not now be returned to Poland to serve the remainder of her sentence for Attempted Murder. George successfully argued that to return her would constitute a disproportionate interference with her and her young children's Article 8 rights. The Court agreed.

George Hepburne-Scott commented: "We will always ruthlessly advance the cases of our clients and secure the best possible results in all cases. We are totally committed to our clients and will advance all possible legal arguments whilst continuing to act to the highest possible ethical and professional standards."
