REVIEWING THE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE LANDSCAPE:
THE LATEST EDITION OF THE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE RULES
An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
Duncan Atkinson and Tim Moloney have produced a much needed new edition of the Criminal Procedure Rules, which, as practitioners realize, have effectively created a new landscape in the criminal courts in England and Wales.
Governing, as they do, all aspects of criminal procedure in all criminal courts, these rules were designed to bring about a cultural change. They affect not just practitioners, but all those involved in the criminal justice system, even though many practitioners initially thought that they would have little impact. In fact, they have become an essential litigation framework, with the new provisions they contain aimed at increasing efficiency and improving case management.
Part of the estimable Blackstone’s Guide Series, this new Second Edition contains the full updated Criminal Procedure Rules 2010, and the Consolidated Criminal Practice Direction. The result is a comprehensive and up-to-date collection of relevant procedural materials.
Amendments to the rules made since they were introduced mean they are now known as a ‘cradle to grave pathway’ that practitioners must follow. An obvious benefit of the new rules is that they codify and consolidate rules previously contained in hundreds of different documents.
How useful then, that this indispensible Guide provides such a full, clear analysis of the Rules, placing them in context and tracking their development since their introduction in 2005. Following the structure of the Rules, they include checklists of time limits and key tasks to be performed.
Clearly, the publishers have seen that we, as practitioners, need publications which are produced as soon as practicable after the legislative enactments, accompanied by serious and experienced expert analysis by leading lawyers on the scope, extent and effects of the statutes. Atkinson and Moloney deliver all this and more in this volume.
Containing a copy of the Act plus key in-depth information, it’s an invaluable tool if you need to act quickly and is the perfect companion for practitioners, magistrates and judges alike and we continue to review the criminal procedure rules landscape at a challenging time.
