Ron Thompson - Haven Solicitors
Over the past three years Ron Thompson has been heavily involved in a very complex and successful series of Judicial Reviews against the Home Office & certain Police Authorities with regards to the unlawful reductions to former Police officers Injury on Duty awards. All of the Judicial Review applications were successful subsequently leading to the Home Office withdrawing that part of their Guidance which the Courts held to be unlawful. This decision has led to hundreds, if not thousands, of former Police Officers having their injury pensions reinstated to its correct level.
