On the balance of probabilities the court found the plaintiff was assaulted by members of Team 3A while in custody; medical evidence established injuries consistent with custody and the defence explanation of self‑infliction was implausible. The police notebooks were post‑recorded and intended to conceal the assault. Liability for assault was therefore established and damages were assessed accordingly.
