Courts condemn Home Office and CPS in two separate trafficking cases

Court of appeal's rejection of the Home Office's appeal a landmark ruling' for victims

Victims of trafficking have secured two significant victories in the courts in separate rulings which have condemned the Home Office and the Crown Prosecution Service.

In one case the police initially refused to investigate a UAE diplomat over a woman's complaint of trafficking claiming that the suspect had diplomatic immunity, but the high court found the CPS's decision not to prosecute unlawful.
