• Mr. Hammerton (European Court of Human Rights, 2016): A "Mr. Hammerton" was involved in legal proceedings that reached the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in 2016. This case stemmed from his committal to prison for three months in 2005 for contempt of court in UK family proceedings, related to breaching an undertaking and an injunction concerning his ex-wife and children. His conviction and sentence were later quashed by the Court of Appeal due to legal errors, including his lack of legal representation. The ECtHR subsequently ruled that his Article 6 rights (right to a fair trial) and Article 13 rights (right to an effective remedy) were breached by the UK. This case refers to the father of a son named David, but the criminal proceedings for contempt of court were against the father.
