Custody Time Limits - Part 1

How long can someone be held in custody after being charged with a serious offence, especially if their trial is delayed? And how did the Coronavirus Act change the rules on custody time limits? In this timely and informative episode Hatti Suvari is joined by senior barrister Simon Spence QC (now KC) to break down the law on custody time limits and what happens when court backlogs delay trials. From the legal limits on detention, to the impact of pandemic-related changes, to what it all means for defendants and the justice system, this episode gives you clear, practical insight into a crucial area of criminal law. If you want to understand how long someone can legally be held before trial, then this is essential listening. #HattiSuvari #SimonSpenceQC #custodytimelimits #criminallaw #courts #legaleducation #getlegallyspeaking Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
