In this episode of Full Comment, Corker Binning partners Danielle Reece-Greenhalgh and Edward Grange take a close look at the offence of coercive or controlling behaviour in its 10^th anniversary, and consider whether the legislation has delivered on its intended purpose. Drawing on practical experience in these kinds of cases, they explore how the law is being applied, the evidential challenges it presents, and whether it is achieving meaningful outcomes both for those it is designed to protect and those who claim to have been falsely accused.
