This 1-hour webinar will consider important High Court and Court of Appeal decisions dealing with evidential issues – loss of evidence, adverse inferences, inconsistent statements at trial, text messages etc. It will also consider the new PET Form (January 2023) to be completed following a ‘not guilty’ plea at the Magistrates’ Court stage.
In addition, there will be consideration of the burdens and standards of proof and the evidential relevance of the recently produced Code of Practice in relation to the extraction of electronic material from devices following the implementation of the Sections under the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022
The webinar will bring you up to date with new evidential considerations. The Court of Appeal and High Court decisions are important but they are long and you probably don’t get the opportunity to read them in depth. It is also important that you keep up to date with new things such as PET Forms and Codes of Practice.
The objective of this webinar is to provide anyone involved in criminal law with the necessary knowledge in the important area of criminal evidence. The criminal trial itself may turn upon the admission or exclusion of such evidence.
This webinar will be hugely relevant for anyone involved in criminal law – you may work for the Crown Prosecution Service in some capacity or you may be a prosecutor for a local authority or you may be a defence lawyer or you may be someone advising suspects at the police station stage or you may be a legal adviser responsible for advising magistrates’ – all will benefit from viewing the webinar.
