As busy criminal practitioners you don't need us to tell you that the areas of criminal law and costs are undergoing major changes. According to published documents it’s all changes on file reviews, committals and police stations this April, and that’s without Crown Court means testing and the proposed amendments to advocacy fees. This 5 hour CPD presentation will bring you up to date with all the proposed changes in the area of costs for criminal lawyers, and also deal with the following:
- What’s new on advising suspects at the police station
- The new Youth Court orders for criminal practitioners
- Relevant recent Case Law for criminal practitioners
