Excellent article by my colleague Robert Readfern giving an insight into the newly published Code for Private Prosecutors
It has...been widely noted by those firms with extensive experience in this area that many firms nationwide have differing standards when bringing a private prosecution. The code for Private Prosecutors aims to set a benchmark for all private prosecutors and seeks to remind them that they are acting as ‘Ministers of Justice’, which should be at the forefront of their mind when making decisions in relation to the cases they prosecute. All members of the PPA have all agreed to abide by the Code.
