Terrorism remains widely misunderstood in UK law and has increasingly been at the forefront of new legislation of successive governments in recent years.
In UK law, terrorism can be defined as the use or threat of action involving violence against a person, chronic damage to property, endangering any person’s life or producing a chronic risk to the safety of other people. However, it must also be designed to influence the Government or intimidate the public. Separate offences such as money laundering and public disorder can also be considered as activities associated with terrorism
Unsurprisingly, individuals charged with terrorist related offences – in other words, charged as being concerned with instigating, preparing or committing acts of terrorism – can find the experience incredibly stressful. They are also unlikely to be familiar with the areas of UK law concerning terrorism, which have seen substantial and often headline-grabbing development throughout recent years. However, the specialist legal advice and representation available from Goldkorns Solicitors can help to ease the anguish of those defending against charges relating to terrorism.
The specialist solicitors we employ are well versed with the many draconian and complex laws, covering such areas as detention at police stations and control orders, and how they have dramatically transformed the nature of UK anti-terrorism legislation. They also know how these changes have resulted in a myriad of implications for those people suspected of terrorism offences, and are fully aware of how the law concerning police procedures and court processes has changed due to the Terrorism Acts.
