Keynote lecture/speech

  1. "Abuse of Process: An Effective Safeguard in the Criminal Justice System?" The City Law School, Gray's Inn Place campus (2016). Criminal proceedings may be 'stayed' if either it would not be possible for the defendant to receive a fair trial (for example, because of excessive delay) or it would not be fair for the defendant to be tried (for example, because of serious misconduct on the part of the prosecuting authorities).
    This lecture examines some of the ways in which criminal proceedings might amount to an abuse of process, and goes on to evaluate whether the power of the court to stay proceedings for this reason (as that power has been interpreted in case law) offers an adequate safeguard against unfairness towards those accused of criminal offences, and what might be done to improve its effectiveness in so doing.
