We have also advised a major university on the legality of its art collection and businesses on the contents of their websites.

R v Peacock

Our client was selling hardcore gay videos and was prosecuted under the Obscene Publications Act. In a high-profile trial, a partner persuaded a jury that the graphic material was not likely to ‘deprave and corrupt’. Our client was acquitted.

R v Walsh

Police found a number of sado-masochistic photographs on our client’s computer which they claimed were extreme images contravening the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act. We called expert evidence to the contrary. Mr Walsh, a successful barrister, was acquitted and is now back in practice.
