R (Hare & Ors) v CPS [2011] EWHC 842 (Admin)

This case involved a broad restraint order imposed during a complex and high-value fraud investigation. Riz demonstrated that the order was unsustainable on the evidence, leading to its discharge. The judgment stands as a further reaffirmation that restraint orders, among the most disruptive tools at the state’s disposal and must be founded on more than speculative assertions or investigative optimism.
