Guy Davison, a member of chambers’ immigration team, often appears as an expert in immigration law on LBC radio.  His latest appearance was on Friday 27th October 2017 with Nick Ferrari on the breakfast show.  Guy was discussing the potential removal of an HIV and LBGT activist to Morocco and whose his case is still ongoing.  The issue of how far the anti-homosexuality laws in Morocco are enforced was also discussed.

Charlotte Proudman, a member of chambers’ family and immigration teams, was also in high demand recently.  A summary of her latest appearances on both TV and radio are detailed below.

In the context of the mounting allegations of sexual harassment and assault against Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey in Hollywood, Charlotte was interviewed on Good Morning Britain on 31st October 2017 at 8.10am.  The presenters also spoke to a defence criminal lawyer, who advocated for a 3-year limitation period for sexual offences.  However, Charlotte disagreed and said an abuse claim time limit would discourage women from coming forward and reporting instances of sexual abuse.
