Jimmy Eggington - Seeking Damages - AEST (Corrected from the last one)
in Legal Aid
Posted · Edited by Scomo
Good evening Mr Eggington @Ditzi
I am not a lawyer with the Office of Legal Defence, but a Crown Prosecutor with the Office of Public Prosecution, but I believe I can be helpful to your application.
As it currently stands, as a result of crown immunity - individual officers cannot be sued, It would be a civil action against the Victoria Police as a whole. If you wish to appeal charges, then I'd advise you to update your application to reflect as such, or should you wish to receive damages, a case against VICPOL should be submitted.
Disclaimer: This response is served without prejudice, and cannot be used in court. I am in no way recommending any action against parties, simply submitting advice in the interests of justice. It should not replace formal legal advice sought from a lawyer of the Office of Legal Defence.
Kind Regards,
Panayiotis Antonidis QC
Senior Crown Prosecutor, Office of Public Prosecutions
Melbourne, Victoria.
