Trial
prompts call for witness-training guidelines
law gazette
by Jeremy Fleming,
1 July 2004 |
A
witness-training company last week called
for national guidelines to be issued
in the wake of a trial that was halted
because of prosecution allegations that
witness training was an abuse of process.
The directors of InPractice – three
of whom are lawyers with London firm
RadcliffesLeBrasseur, which owns half
the company – said the issue of
training was addressed for the first
time in court last month in R v Salisbury.
In his judgment in Chester Crown Court,
Mr Justice Pitchford said the witnesses
– who were hospital staff –
were entitled to the training that InPractice
offered, which amounted to a process
of familiarisation with court processes
and preparing to give evidence. The
trial was resumed.
|
|
Kate
Hill, as associate at Radcliffes and
director of InPractice, said there were
grey areas that some witness-training
companies might stray beyond by attempting
to coach witnesses.She said: ‘We
think the law should be proactive rather
than reactive, that’s why we are
asking the government to issue guidelines’. |
