Suing the Police – Wrongful Arrest\u00a0and Malicious Prosecution<\/h2>\n

Malicious Prosecution<\/a>\u00a0 | \u00a0Wrongful Arrest and False Imprisonment<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"suingNyman Gibson Miralis\u00a0has the experience and resources to protect your civil rights from the time criminal charges are brought and defended, through to making claims for damages against the Police.<\/p>\n

The maintenance of your rights and civil liberties is a fundamental tenet of our society. If it can be established that the Police have breached your rights, you may eligible to make a claim for compensation.<\/p>\n

Over the past 10 years, Nyman Gibson Miralis has successfully secured millions of dollars in damages as a result of civil actions brought against the Police for the following claims:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Malicious prosecution<\/li>\n
  2. Wrongful arrest or unlawful arrest<\/li>\n
  3. False imprisonment<\/li>\n
  4. Assault<\/li>\n
  5. Battery (police brutality<\/strong> or excessive force<\/strong>)<\/li>\n
  6. Misfeasance \/ Malfeasance in a Public Office<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Claims against the Police are legally some of the most difficult claims to win because of a principle known as the \u2018Briginshaw Standard\u2019 as found in the case of Briginshaw v Briginshaw (1938) 60 CLR 336<\/a>. Ordinarily there are two \u2018standards of proof\u2019 known to the law, namely:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Beyond reasonable doubt \u2013 criminal<\/li>\n
    2. Balance of probabilities \u2013 civil<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Whilst civil claims against the Police are civil proceedings, because a serious allegation of misfeasance or improper conduct is involved, the Court must go one step further than being satisfied on the balance of probabilities, they must be comfortably satisfied.<\/p>\n

      Furthermore, the more serious the claim of the Police\u2019s misfeasance or misconduct, the more comfortably satisfied the Court must be.<\/p>\n

      This means that a strong case has to exist to support of your claim. Whilst you may think you have a claim, it is crucial\u00a0that the evidence is there to support your claim.<\/p>\n

      Nyman Gibson Miralis will take steps from the word \u2018go\u2019 to ensure that your charges are properly defended and that your case, if you are found not guilty, is prepared in the best possible way to claim and obtain damages.<\/p>\n

      Suing the Police\u00a0FAQs<\/h3>\n

      [\/vc_column_text][vc_toggle title=”I haven\u2019t been charged, or I have been found\/plead guilty, is it possible that I have a claim?” el_id=”1491953365666-1eeb7c4f-5995″]Yes! Many people believe that you need to be charged and\/or found not guilty to have a civil claim against the Police \u2013 this is wrong.<\/p>\n

      Whilst some claims are dependent upon you being charged and found not guilty (e.g. malicious prosecution) you may still have a claim.<\/p>\n

      For example, you may be guilty of an offence, but that does not mean that you should have been arrested and\/or imprisoned. Alternatively, you may have been arrested but never charged \u2013 you may have still a right to damages for the interference of your liberty.<\/p>\n

      If you are seeking compensation for a false arrest or compensation for false imprisonment, you may have a claim.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Can I sue the Police for compensation?” el_id=”1491954050145-6963b079-53c7″]If you have been maliciously prosecuted<\/a>, you may have a right to compensation. Commencing civil proceedings (otherwise known as \u2018suing\u2019) against the Police is not an easy task. In fact, malicious prosecution is readily considered one of the more difficult claims to win. It is therefore important that you have lawyers who not only understand the \u2018ins and outs\u2019 of taking civil action against the Police, but also have the experience to know how to maximise your compensation for being maliciously prosecuted.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”I was only arrested for a couple of minutes, do I have a claim?” el_id=”1491958296367-878bc8df-34ad”]Yes, you\u00a0may still have a claim. However, the amount of compensation you may get will generally increase with the time you have been arrested and imprisoned.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”The Police arrested me for a minor charge, I did commit the offence but I don\u2019t think it was necessary for them do arrest me, should I explore whether I have a claim for compensation?” el_id=”1491958295486-05dd5c7f-8b24″]Yes. Whilst you may be guilty of committing an offence, this does not mean the Police have a right to arrest you. Police can deal with criminal offences in a number of ways without needing to arrest you, for example \u2013 penalty notices, field Court Attendance Notices and Future Court Attendance Notices. Remember, the arrest must be reasonably necessary.<\/p>\n

      If you have been arrested wrongfully and imprisoned illegally, do not let it be swept under the rug. Speak to our team today about whether you have a claim for compensation.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”The Police arrested me for a serious charge, but the charges were dismissed by the Court, can I still claim for wrongful arrest and false imprisonment?” el_id=”1491958296039-bbc9837c-ada8″]Possibly. Whilst one of the lawfully permitted reasons for an arrest is because of the seriousness of an offence, If the Police officer who arrested you knew that the charges were bogus, then there may never have been a basis to arrest you to begin with, that is, they didn\u2019t suspect on reasonable grounds that an offence had been committed. You may also want to consider whether you have a claim for being maliciously prosecuted.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What must I do to sue the police?” el_id=”1491953439649-e89631c9-3534″]Suing the Police is one of the most complicated civil claims.
