Litigation Letter
Self- incrimination
Kensington International Ltd v Republic of Congo and Others EAT TLR 30 November
On balance the public interest requires that persons in possession of property on behalf of others should be compelled to
give information about their dealings with the property in order to protect the interests of those entitled to it, notwithstanding
that that involved departing from the general rule that a witness need not incriminate himself.
