The State has been ordered to pay more than $600,000 in compensation to a mother and daughter whose home was searched by police using a warrant issued in the name of a man who no longer lived there.
Delivering an oral judgment on Tuesday, High Court Judge Avason Quinlan-Williams upheld the lawsuit brought by the relatives, whose identities were withheld due to personal safety concerns raised by their attorneys.
The lawsuit stemmed from a search of the women’s home which began around 4.30 am on July 20, 2023.
