Adorian v Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis
Court of Appeal
“The requirement in section 329 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 that the court’s permission had to be obtained before a convicted offender could bring civil proceedings for trespass to the person was procedural and directory. Where such proceedings were brought without permission, the defect could be cured on application to the court.”
