VI. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I would like to thank the members of the Working Party itself for all their hard work
and invaluable assistance over the course of this project.

The Working Party would like to give particular thanks to Travers Smith for its
generosity in supporting and hosting the Working Party and for its pro bono research
assistance, especially Sam Cottman and Maya Chandegra. We would also like to
thank the Barrow Cadbury Trust and the Blagrave Trust for generously funding
and supporting this project.

Our thanks are also due to the Working Party Rapporteur, Tariq Desai, who sadly left
JUSTICE in October 2020. We are extremely grateful to JUSTICE’s new Criminal
Justice Lawyer, Tyrone Steele, who assisted in drafting the report, as well as interns
