Rajiv Menon KC: Contempt of Court proceedings

By August 15, 2026August 27th, 2026No Comments

Source: Garden Court Chambers —

The case against Menon is unprecedented and is believed to be the first time in British legal history that a lawyer has been prosecuted for contempt over words spoken during a closing speech.

The precedent this case sets could weaken the foundations of our justice system, undermine the freedom of lawyers to fearlessly represent the interests of their clients, and endanger the fundamental right to a free and fair trial.
