Court of Appeal upholds the convictions of individuals involved in a brutal mob attack on security personnel enforcing a lawful High Court repossession order. The original trial, which took place over several months, centered on the vicious assault of security workers, with the defendants challenging the admissibility of video evidence and the legality of search warrants. The Court of Appeal affirmed the convictions, rejecting arguments that the evidence was inadmissible and that the defendants were falsely imprisoned during the search of their homes prior to arrest.
