Following a six-day trial at Guildford Crown Court, Anne Faul secured a unanimous acquittal for her client, who had been indicted to stand trial in respect of an offence of inflicting grievous bodily harm under section 20 of the Offences Against the Person Act. The prosecution alleged that the defendant had caused life-changing injuries to his wife, resulting in paraplegia.

The case involved complex medical evidence and required Miss Faul to conduct a skilful and sensitive cross-examination of the complainant. Her strategic approach and meticulous handling of the evidence were pivotal in achieving the acquittal. Miss Faul was privately instructed by Sarah Roberts of The Purkiss Partnership.
