Suing for unlawful imprisonment compensation
BH was wrongfully arrested by police who alleged that he had breached a condition of an apprehended violence order (AVO). In fact, the condition which police alleged he breached had been varied by the court some ten months earlier. Despite his protests and explanation to the police about the variation, they arrested, detained, charged and prosecuted him for an offence he had not committed.
