The right to bring a private prosecution is long-established in our criminal justice system. As resources of the police and the Crown Prosecution Service are increasingly stretched, there has been a rise in these prosecutions before the courts.
Private prosecutions are now regularly brought by corporations who have fallen victim to fraud and by individual victims of crimes where the statutory prosecuting authorities have been unable or unwilling to proceed.
We are highly experienced in bringing and defending private prosecutions both on behalf of individuals and corporations in both large and smaller cases.
We have been involved in some of the most significant cases in this growth area for many years.
