Stop Delaying Justice!

Stop Delaying Justice! is a new initiative of the senior judiciary that will take effect from 1st January 2012 in the magistrates' court. 

This is essential reading for practitioners and you can access the materials below. 

You should print off a copy of the materials (3 documents), and then use the video-clip links as you work through the information package.

It will take around 2 hours to work through the materials.

It is clear that this approach is not actually new, as it is founded on almost a decade of case law and statutory rules. What this package does is bring those strands together to present a coherent analysis of the way in which criminal litigation must now be conducted.

The Chief Crown Prosecutor for Greater Manchester has sent this letter to all local firms (a similar letter has been sent to other areas).

CrimeLine would welcome your feedback on this initiative. Readers may also be interested in Andrew Keogh's lecture, given as part of the Eldon Lecture Series at Northumbria University - the topic was Criminal Case Management, is the game over? View the video here.
