Lisa Roberts QC, instructed by Ian Lewis of JMW Solicitors, successfully defends Nicky Butt for assault

Lisa had been due to resume legal arguments today on behalf of the ex-Manchester United footballer, but the CPS agreed to discontinue the case against him on both charges – assault and criminal damage. This followed months of legal arguments on behalf of her client, during which Lisa had challenged the evidence in the case and argued that the prosecution was neither proportionate nor in the public interest and that it was an abuse of process to continue the case against him.’
