R v Henry

In legal citation, "R v Henry" refers to a criminal law case. The "R" stands for "Rex" (if the reigning monarch is male) or "Regina" (if the reigning monarch is female). It signifies that the Crown, representing the state or the sovereign, is prosecuting the case against the accused, Henry. The "v" stands for "versus," indicating opposition between the Crown and the defendant. Thus, "R v Henry" means "The Crown versus Henry" and denotes a legal action brought by the government against Henry for allegedly violating a criminal law. The specifics of the case – the alleged crime, the court, and the year of the decision – are essential for a full and accurate citation.
