Criminal Appeals Handbook

By: Joel Bennathan QC,Rebecca Trowler QC,Gregory Stewart

With a Foreword by Sir Adrian Fulford, Vice President, Court of Appeal Criminal Division. Are you appealing from the Crown Court or the Court of Appeal? The Criminal Appeals Handbook, Second Edition is THE 'how to' guide to appealing from the Crown Court to the Court of Appeal and beyond, to assist those who seek to challenge a conviction or sentence imposed in the Crown Court. In short, concise chapters this book describes each stage of the appeals process and introduces the reader to the language, law and procedure of pursuing an appeal. It presents ways of investigating what may have gone wrong and what resources and funding is available through legal aid, in order to identify potential grounds of appeal. In addition it provides an overview of interlocutory appeals, responding to prosecution appeals and considering the position of defendants who suffer from mental disorders. It follows the process through to the conclusion of the case in the Court of Appeal, and beyond, covering appeal to the Supreme Court, the Criminal Case Review Commission, and international remedies through the ECtHR and UNHRC. The Second Edition is updated to take account of: The revised Her Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service Guide to the procedures that must be followed on appeal Amended statutes, Criminal Procedure Rules and Practice Directions in relation to appeals Recent substantive case law in relation to key appellate issues, including the duty of fresh representatives in conviction appeals to consult trial lawyers Important guidance given by the Court of Appeal on the meaning of 'substantial injustice' The court's approach to further information or evidence in sentence appeals and the role of the Court of Appeal in relation to Sentencing Guidelines An invaluable guide to an often-daunting area of criminal litigation for barristers, solicitor advocates and students of the topic. '...a truly useful insight to the otherwise, potentially daunting, web of Court of Appeal procedure... the Criminal Appeals Handbook is a hugely impressive work... I, for one, will not be making my way to the High Court from now on without a copy' Counsel (Review of the previous edition) Joel Bennathan QC, Doughty Street Chambers, has an established defence practice in serious and complex crime with a specialism in a broad range of appeals.

Criminal Appeals Handbook

By: Daniel Jones,Gregory Stewart,Joel Bennathan

Criminal Appeals Handbook provides practical assistance to legal representatives of clients who are seeking to challenge convictions or sentences in the Court of Appeal and beyond. This book will also be of interest to those convicted and their families by assisting them to understand the process, their rights and their options.The process of appealing to the criminal court is an area of law where the practitioner and the layman are in need of practical guidance. The changes that the criminal profession is experiencing are likely to result in an increased need for guidance in this area, especially for solicitor advocates who, unlike chambers- based counsel, have not experienced the Court of Appeal as part of their training.In order to be of maximum practical assistance, the book takes each topic in the order in which it arises in the appeal process. It begins with how to obtain advice including funding for advice and assistance legal aid, potential grounds of appeal, lodging, etc. and will follow the process through to the conclusion of the case in the Court of Appeal. There is then a short section on Appeal to the Supreme Court followed by reference to the Criminal Case Review Commission, then finally international remedies (ECtHR and UNHRC). Criminal Appeals Handbook covers the following topics:Appeals against conviction;Appeals against sentence;Referrals to the CCRC;Pardons;Applications to the ECtHR;Application to the UN Human Rights Committee.Each chapter is divided into small subsections. The sections concerned with the law begin by stating the law, with the authority and a short explanation and conclude by citing the other relevant case law in the area. Chapters concerned with procedural aspects of the process conclude with a checklist of relevant matters. Guidance on funding each aspect of the appeal process is also included. This book brings together and restates the law that has been set out elsewhere in various cases, textbooks, guidelines and practice directions, in a practical, comprehensive and user-friendly style.
