The Police Action Lawyers Group (PALG) is a national organisation comprised of solicitors, barristers and legal executives who represent complainants against the police throughout England and Wales.
PALG members are concerned first and foremost with the principal objectives of the complainants we represent: to ensure that the police are held accountable for their conduct through all available avenues, including the police complaints system, judicial review and compensation claims. In many circumstances, llitigation through the civil courts can be the only means by which complainants are able to enjoy any access to justice and thereby to defend their civil liberties in the face of malpractice on the par
PALG members have been involved with numerous notable police complaint cases, civil claims and inquiries. These cases typically involve allegations of false imprisonment, assault and malicious prosecution (often aggravated by discrimination), but are not limited to such work. Some of the most distressing cases we deal with are on behalf of families whose relatives have died in police custody. Many of our members are also active within the INQUEST Lawyers Group .
