Hugill's Law

   

Kenneth Hugill is the 83-year-old farmer who was acquitted by a Hull jury, after just 24 minutes, over an allegation of GBH.

Mr Hugill had been defending his farm from intruders. Even though he was acquitted, My Hugill faced a legal bill of over £30,000 which was going to take him decades to pay back.

Celebrity lawyer Nick Freeman, launched a Just Giving campaign to help with those fees and, with overwhelming public support and generosity, was able to hand Mr Hugill a cheque to cover his legal fees. Nick has started a campaign to allow acquitted defendants to recover their reasonable legal costs, as was the system, before it was changed in 2012.
