Plea negotiations have been part of the fraud prosecution landscape in England and Wales for a number of years. However recent new guidelines have
paved the way for their formalisation.
The evening session will enable guests to hear different perspectives from a panel of experts in the field, including 18 Red Lion Court members Peter Carter QC and Allison Clare. The session will provide:
- An overview of the UK plea negotiation framework in fraud cases.
- A practitioner’s perspective on the new plea
negotiation guidelines.
- A personal perspective on the US experience in
using plea negotiations in fraud cases.
- The impact of the new guidelines on access to
justice.
