This week, hearings for the Undercover Policing Inquiry Tranche 3 (Phase 1) continue.
Several Garden Court barristers represent core participants who have been significantly affected by undercover policing in England and Wales, and have made opening statements to the Inquiry.
In a procedural hearing to consider whether undercover officer HN81, “David Hagan”, would be called to give evidence to the Inquiry, Lily Lewis delivered submissions on behalf of core participants Sukhdev and Tish Reel (mother and sister of Ricky Reel), Karen Doyle, and MWS (member of the family campaign for justice for Michael Tachie-Menson). All were directly impacted by the deployment of HN81.
Lily Lewis also represents MSS (member of the family campaign for justice for Michael Tachie-Menson), Alex Owolade, Antonia Bright, Tony Gard and Movement for Justice.
All campaigned for justice, against racism, and to expose police failings from 1993 to 2007, and were subject to surveillance by undercover police. Lily is led by James Wood KC of Doughty Street Chambers and instructed by Mike Schwarz of Hodge Jones & Allen.
Watch the submission on 3 November here. Written submission available here.
