It’s 250 years since John Entick won his case in trespass against four of the King’s messengers, despatched by the Secretary of State under a warrant to seize “seditious papers”. Join us to hear a panel discuss the significance—then and now—of this famous case and the principles of the rule of law it stands for.

Professor Richard Boast QC, Victoria University of Wellington
Anthea Williams, Ministry for Primary Industries
