Legislator summary

AI generated

The appeal court reversed the lower court's refusal to appoint legal counsel for a police officer involved in a complaint regarding violent arrest tactics. The officer argued the lower court was correct in denying representation, but the court noted that complaints involving violence and harsh treatment during arrest frequently warrant legal assistance. Consequently, the court ruled that an attorney must be appointed for the officer under the specific provision of the Code of Judicial Procedure.

Byrettens kendelse blev ændret, således at der blev beskikket en advokat

[DOKUMENT] Afgørelse (2 sider) S1667000 – JRH/SF

UDSKRIFT AF ØSTRE LANDSRETS DOMBOG ____________ KENDELSE

Afsagt den 9. juni 2010 af Østre Landsrets 11. afdeling (landsdommerne Karsten Bo Knudsen, Ole Græsbøll Olesen og Anne Louise Bormann).

11. afd. kære nr. S-1667-10: Anklagemyndigheden mod Polititjenestemand

( Cpr.nr. ) (advokat Torben Koch)

Polititjenestemand har kæret Københavns Byrets afgørelse af 27. april 2010 (98-8883/2010), hvorefter retten har afslået at beskikke advokat for Polititjenestemand i anledning af en klagesag mod ham.

Det fremgår af sagen, at klagen vedrører en anholdelse, hvor Polititjenestemand ifølge klageren angiveligt har udsat ham for vold og trusler om vold. Klagen er ikke afvist som åbenbart grundløs.

Det fremgår af forarbejderne til retsplejelovens kapitel 93 b, at advokatbeskikkelse ofte vil være indiceret, når der er tale om klage over vold og anden hårdhændet behandling i forbindelse med anholdelse.

På baggrund af klagesagens karakter finder landsretten, at der skal beskikkes en advokat for Polititjenestemand i hvert fald i medfør af retsplejelovens § 1019 e, stk. 2, hvorfor bestemmes:

Byrettens kendelse ændres, således at der beskikkes advokat for Polititjenestemand under klagesagens behandling.
