Introduction
In the last 12 months there has been a host of important developments in the criminal law field. The Coroners and Justice Act 2009 has introduced critical changes to the law of homicide with the defence of provocation being replaced with the new ‘loss of control’ defence. The Act also significantly impacts upon criminal investigations, evidence and procedure, with changes taking place in relation to the anonymity of witnesses and investigations. Other changes that practitioners need to be aware of include the introduction of defence witness notices and the new powers and remit of the Sentencing Council.
Chaired by Orlando Pownall QC of 2 Hare Court, Butterworths Criminal Law Conference will provide practitioners with a comprehensive review of all the latest developments in criminal law and explain how these trends translate into practice.
