Alder v The Chief Constable of Humberside Police & Ors [2006] EWCA Civ 1741 (18 December 2006)

The claimant, Janet Alder, is the sister of Christopher Alder, who died on 1 April 1998 in the custody of the Humberside police, in distressing and still contentious circumstances. A coroner's jury returned a verdict of unlawful killing (it was not allowed by law to say by whom), but the prosecution brought by the present defendant, the Crown Prosecution Service, against a number of police officers for misconduct in office and manslaughter ended in their directed acquittal following a submission that there was no case to answer on either count.
