Series 2 Episode 11 - Appeals from the Magistrates’ Court - Conviction, Sentence, Case Stated and Judicial Review
(00:40:53)
In this final episode of Series 2 as we continue with appeals, we hear about how people who have had their case heard in the magistrates’ court can appeal against their conviction and sentence and what actually happens during the process, which you’ll be pleased to hear is far simpler than appealing against a conviction or sentence in the Crown Court.
And we also go into the detail about perhaps the most complex type of appeal from the magistrates’ court, which is known as an Appeal by way of Case Stated and how a man who refused to pay a fixed penalty notice found himself in the Supreme Court.
And what is Judicial Review and how can it be used in a criminal case? In this episode we find out, including how a robbery charge against two youths ended up in front of the Lord Chief Justice.
This is the final episode of Series 2 of the Defence Barrister Podcast and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for listening.
We will be back early next year with more interesting and thought-provoking content which shows how, warts and all, the criminal justice system really works.
