Private Criminal Prosecutions & The Law - Part 1

What happens when the system says no, but you still want justice? In this powerful episode Hatti Suvari is joined by leading private prosecution barrister Nick Hawkins, former Chief Crown Prosecutor for Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) Direct, to uncover a legal route most people don’t even know exists. From what a private prosecution really is, to when you can bring one, who usually prosecutes criminal offences, and whether you can recover compensation, this episode lifts the lid on a little-known but potentially game-changing area of law. They also break down the role of the police vs the CPS, and what your options are if the CPS decides not to pursue your case. If you’ve ever felt let down by the system — this is an episode you need to hear. #PrivateProsecution #CPS #CriminalLaw #Justice #KnowYourRights #LegalEducation #GetLegallySpeaking #HattiSuvari             Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
