We are pleased to report another successful outcome for Samantha Marsh on securing the unanimous acquittal of her client following a three-day trial at Peterborough Crown Court.
The case involved a complex allegation of rape, raising issues of conditional consent and requiring detailed legal research into the developing case law ahead of trial.
Samantha’s careful preparation, together with her analysis of the evidence, including extensive WhatsApp communications, resulted in the jury returning unanimous Not Guilty verdicts after just 1 hour and 20 minutes of deliberation.
Samantha was instructed by Jacqui Appleton of Shelley and Co Solicitors.
A huge thank you to the Cambridgeshire Law Society for hosting another fantastic Summer Party, celebrating an incredible 155 years of supporting the legal profession in Cambridgeshire.
As proud sponsors of the event, it was a pleasure to spend the evening catching up with colleagues from across the profession, enjoying the live music and making the most of the glorious summer weather. We’re all just a little bit jealous that our own Samantha Marsh was the lucky winner of the raffle hamper!
Thank you to Joanna Cotgrove and Penelope Harrington for presiding over the evening and to everyone at the Cambridgeshire Law Society for such a memorable evening – we look forward to the next one!
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the Local Family Justice Board and Fenners Chambers Family Law Training Day. It was wonderful to welcome so many professionals from across the family justice community for a day of learning and networking.
The programme covered a wide range of topics, including public and private law updates, domestic abuse, family group decision making, safeguarding, financial remedies, and the latest updates from the judiciary. We were delighted to welcome speakers from Cambridgeshire County Council, SHiFT UK, Peterborough City Council, CAFCASS, Regency Chambers, alongside members of the judiciary and Fenners Chambers, making for an engaging and thought-provoking programme.
A special thank you to Elaine Lewis, Principal Lawyer and Ruth Griffiths, Senior Lawyer at Peterborough City Council, and to everyone at Peterborough City Council who worked so hard behind the scenes to help make the day such a success. We are incredibly grateful for your support.
Finally, thank you to all of our speakers for generously sharing their time and expertise! We hope everyone found the day as valuable as we did, and we look forward to welcoming you again next year.
We’re delighted to have received a Live Brief Award award from Anglia Ruskin University in recognition of our partnership with the Cyber Security and Digital Forensics course.
Earlier this year, Isobel Morath and pupil barrister Samuel Walker swapped the Bar for the bench, taking on the role of judges in the students’ mock court assessment. Over two days, students presented evidence based on a cyber-crime investigation they had been working on for several months, with Sam and Izzy putting their advocacy and expert witness skills to the test through questioning from the bench.
A huge thank you to Senior Lecturer Practitioners Andrew Moore and Steve Shepherd MBE for visiting Chambers to present the award and to everyone at ARU for having us involved!
