Re Hudson Conway Ltd

In the matter of Re Hudson Conway Ltd, the defendant was facing a criminal trial for the manslaughter of an infant. The court was required to determine whether the defendant could rely on the defence of marital coercion and whether evidence from undercover operatives regarding the relationship between the defendant and her husband after the infant's death could be admitted. The legal issues were whether the defence of marital coercion was available in this case and whether the evidence from the undercover operatives was relevant and admissible. The court considered that the defence of marital coercion was not available in this case as the defendant had not acted under coercion but rather had intentionally caused the death of the infant. The court also held that the evidence from the undercover operatives was not relevant to the defence of marital coercion and was therefore inadmissible. The application to admit the evidence was dismissed. The court did not make any final orders as the case was still ongoing at the time of the ruling.
