Jeremy Richmond recently appeared for an overseas national in the Commercial Court case A v. B [2017] EWHC 2116 (Comm) where he successfully obtained the full remission of an 18-month prison sentence for contempt of court arising from breaches of court orders.

Based on the particular circumstances of the case and further evidence, the Court granted full remission notwithstanding the fact that Jeremy's client had not served any of his sentence and for good reason did not appear at the application itself.
