Backslapping lawyers celebrate ‘amazing result’

LEFT-WING human rights lawyers and their colleagues took to Twitter to celebrate the terrorists’ landmark victory yesterday.

Kamel Bourgass and Tanvir Hussain were represented by top human rights barrister Dinah Rose QC, instructed by law firm Birnberg Peirce.

The company’s past clients have included several notorious terrorists.

The Howard League for Penal Reform, a charity which campaigns on prison issues, was represented at court by Edward Fitzgerald QC, whose previous clients include Moors murderer Myra Hindley and hookhanded hate preacher Abu Hamza.

Minutes after the Supreme Court issued its ruling yesterday, Doughty Street Chambers in London – which calls itself ‘the leading human rights and civil liberties chambers’ – tweeted: ‘Bourgass appeal has just been allowed by @UKSupremeCourt Great work by appellants & @TheHowardLeague’.

Caoilfhionn Gallagher, a barrister at Doughty Street Chambers, tweeted: ‘Amazing result @UKSupremeCourt allows Bourgass appeal. Another example of common law’s power’. Fellow barrister Adam Willoughby said: ‘Bourgass appeal allowed – another superb victory for @DinahRoseQC.’

And criminal barrister Kate Mallison wrote: ‘Congratulations to Dinah Rose QC for another excellent result’.
