Private Prosecutions
In the absence of resources and fundings, unfortunately individuals may find prosecuting authorities reluctant to charge and launch criminal proceedings, post investigation. Private Prosecutions can be a route open to victims of crime, who seek swift and efficient justice, in those circumstances.
We provide specialist advice to corporate and individual clients who are considering instigating a Private Prosecution. This involves strategic advice on preparing a prosecution, disclosure, the prospects of success and recovery of costs.
We work with you at each stage of the proceedings; including planning, streamlining the investigation and marshalling disclosure. This ensures your costs are mitigated and that you are involved in the decision- making process throughout.
We liaise with other public prosecuting bodies to ensure we comply with all disclosure exercises and directions, as this is often the key to success in these cases. Private Prosecutions are privately funded.
Legal Aid is not available for Private Prosecutions. We ensure from the outset that we are transparent about likely costs.
