The defence involved issues of 3rd party duress and blackmail.• Private Prosecutions - Having acted as a Private prosecutor for 8 years, I understand the frustrations that the cuts to public funding in the Criminal Justice System have led to. Private prosecutions are increasing in their use and I am best placed to advise on the benefits and the pitfalls of clients thinking of taking out Private Prosecutions.• Witness Preparation - Strict rules exist as to what pre-trial preparation can be undertaken by a Witness to help familiarise themselves with the process and stresses of giving evidence in a Civil or Criminal trial. As a specialist trainer I am available on request to help prepare anyone who is due to attend court as a Witness in order to help them give the best evidence possible.
