Description
The rise in the use of private prosecution is of increasing importance to criminal practitioners as well as civil litigators and commercial practitioners.
This book sets out the statutory bases, and the practical issues involved, in bringing and conducting a private prosecution. The step-by-step approach begins with the laying of the information and the subsequent issuing of the summons, followed by the investigation process, the gathering of evidence through to the trial process and procedure itself. In addition the work includes the important related aspects of disclosure, costs and confiscation.
Extensive reference to case law, statutes, and the inclusion of precedents, ensures a comprehensive single source.
