Episode notes

In recent decades, oligarchs and kleptocrats have routinely used English courts to silence free speech and launder their murky pasts. In the first of a two part series Neil and Jonathan talk to distinguished lawyers Mark Stephens and David Hooper about the history of “lawfare” and their own experiences of it.

Presented by Jonathan Ford and Neil Collins.

With David Hooper and Mark Stephens.
