Prosecutions
The team has extensive experience in local authority prosecutions covering planning, environmental crime, housing benefit fraud, housing, health and safety, trading standards, anti-social behaviour including civil injunctions, and other regulatory matters.
We can help with:
- drafting enforcement policies
- the use of surveillance powers by local authorities
- advising on the evidence that is required for specific cases
- helping first time witnesses to cope with the Court experience
- advising on drafting charges as well as the advocacy that is required in contested hearings.
We have significant experience in advising and representing clients in applications relating to proceeds of crime, including obtaining a confiscation order against a defendant of over half a million pounds.
We can also provide training to officers on preparing prosecution files ready for proceedings.
