‘Framed‘ man tries to find out who he should sue

Tuesday 18th January 2011, 2:29PM GMT.

A MAN who began an action against the States nearly five years ago is still trying to find out if he is suing the right entity.

In 2000, Stephen Le Huray was charged with importing £40,000-worth of the class A drug Ecstasy into Guernsey but the case was dismissed when the prosecution offered no evidence.

A separate charge of possessing cannabis was also thrown out.

In October 2006, Mr Le Huray began an action against the States, accusing law enforcement officers of making false allegations against him, wrongfully arresting and imprisoning him and assault.

At yesterday’s Royal Court hearing, Advocate Barnes argued that the States was the rightful defendant in the case but HM Procureur Howard Roberts denied that.
