Civil Liberties and
Human Rights
Cases involving civil liberties and human rights are among the most significant, complex, and sensitive matters before the courts. While the State is expected to uphold the law and respect individual rights, there are occasions when those rights are compromised or ignored. In such instances, accountability is essential.

Claims against the police, including actions for:
-
- False imprisonment
- Assault
- Misconduct in public office
