Download or read book Draft Criminal Defence Service Bill Consultation Paper and Explanatory Notes written by Great Britain. Department for Constitutional Affairs and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2004 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This consultation paper sets out the Government's proposals for a draft Bill to implement changes to the Criminal Defence Service (CDS) grant of the right to public funded representation in criminal court cases. The main provisions of the draft Bill relate to two measures: the transfer of responsibility for grant of criminal legal aid from the courts to the Legal Services Commission; and the re-introduction of a means test for criminal cases. The aim of the Bill is to ensure that the taxpayer gets best value for money from the CDS and to improve management control and consistency in the legal aid system and the way in which the fund is spent. The re-introduction of the means test seeks to focus resources on those that need help most. Responses should be received by 6 August 2004.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The draft Bill, published as a consultation paper (Cm 6194, ISBN 0101619421) in May 2004, contains the Government's proposals for changes to the Criminal Defence Service (CDS) grant of the right to public funded representation in criminal court cases. Its two key provisions are the transfer of responsibility for grant of criminal legal aid from the courts to the Legal Services Commission (LSC); and the re-introduction of a means test for criminal cases. The Committee's report finds that the increase in CDS spending in recent years is unsustainable, and states its support for the underlying aim of the draft Bill to improve management control and consistency in the legal aid system and to focus resources on those that need help most. However, it highlights a number of areas where more work is required before the proposals can be finalised, including the need to ensure the measures comply with the UK's obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights, as well as the costs and practical difficulties of means testing and in transferring the grant to the LSC.
Download or read book Draft Defamation Bill written by Great Britain: Ministry of Justice and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2011-03-15 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This consultation paper sets out the Government's proposals for reform of the law on defamation, aiming to achieve balance between protection of freedom of speech and the protection of reputation. The Government wants to ensure that the threat of libel proceedings is not used to frustrate robust scientific and academic debate, or to impede responsible investigative journalism and the valuable work undertaken by nongovernmental organisations. Issues included in the draft Bill are as follows: a new requirement that a statement must have caused substantial harm in order for it to be defamatory; a new statutory defence of responsible publication on matters of public interest; a statutory defence of truth (replacing the current common law defence of justification); a statutory defence of honest opinion (replacing the current common law defence of fair/honest comment); provisions updating and extending the circumstances in which the defences of absolute and qualified privilege are available; introduction of a single publication rule to prevent an action being brought in relation to publication of the same material by the same publisher after a one year limitation period has passed; action to address libel tourism by ensuring a court will not accept jurisdiction unless satisfied that England and Wales is clearly the most appropriate place to bring an action against someone who is not domiciled in the UK or an EU Member State; removal of the presumption in favour of jury trial, so that the judge would have a discretion to order jury trial where it is in the interests of justice.

Download or read book Corporate Criminal Liability written by Mark Pieth and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-04-20 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With industrialization and globalization, corporations acquired the capacity to influence social life for good or for ill. Yet, corporations are not traditional objects of criminal law. Justified by notions of personal moral guilt, criminal norms have been judged inapplicable to fictional persons, who ‘think’ and ‘act’ through human beings. The expansion of new corporate criminal liability (CCL) laws since the mid-1990s challenges this assumption. Our volume surveys current practice on CCL in 15 civil and common law jurisdictions, exploring the legal conditions for liability, the principles and options for sanctioning, and the procedures for investigating, charging and trying corporate offenders. It considers whether municipal CCL laws are converging around the notion of ‘corporate culture’, and, in any case, the implications of CCL for those charged with keeping corporations, and other legal entities, out of trouble.
