Partner Comment:

“Unfortunately there are few barristers, and even less Judges, that truly understand this new sector. This can motivate defence lawyers to attempt to create increased confusion around situations to the point where cases are dropped or ruled against as there is a lack of adequate understanding and clarity to make clear judgements. It is paramount that facts aren’t just laid out in full, but are also clearly explained so that all parties understand the steps as to how events have occurred, how digital assets are moved and the obligations individuals and companies face in disclosure and reporting of asset holdings within their legal jurisdictions.”
