Fresh bid to overturn Janner decision
ANOTHER law firm representing alleged victims of Lord Janner has written to Britain’s most senior prosecutor in a bid to overturn the decision not to bring the former MP to trial over child sex abuse claims.
Director of public prosecutions Alison Saunders has come under pressure following her decision not to prosecute the peer over child abuse allega- tions, on the basis that he was medically unfit.
Peter Garsden, whose firm is representing three clients in a civil child abuse claim against Lord Janner, has said he wants Ms Saunders to clarify the reasons for her decision by disclosing the reports that supported it.
On Tuesday Liz Dux, specialist abuse lawyer at Slater and Gordon, said her firm had written to the DPP to formally request a review of the decision.
