R v Q
LP Evans were instructed by six of seven defendants in an investigation into a significant number of domestic burglaries across Hampshire and neighbouring counties since 2019, all allegedly committed by a single gang.

Following lengthy legal argument at trial, the Crown were forced to discontinue against our client and all other defendants.
R v S
Instructed by one of five defendants in a case involving the alleged supply of cocaine and cannabis by organised criminal groups in Yorkshire and the North East. The investigation culminated in thousands of pages of cell-site data, message downloads and CCTV surveillance, all painstakingly analysed and challenged by our senior solicitors specialising in high-level drugs supply.
R v R
Possession of explosives. The defendant had a previous terrorism conviction; the case was successfully dismissed by the judge on abuse of process grounds. The Crown appealed and the Court of Appeal upheld the dismissal.
