Mock trials

Description

The defence of regulatory prosecutions is notoriously tough. With many offences subject either to strict liability or a reverse burden of proof, the Crown overwhelmingly achieves a conviction.

However, a mock trial gives you the opportunity to put your daily practices to the test with a view to spotting compliance gaps and avoiding a prosecution in the first place. How would your processes withstand forensic analysis by the regulator? How would your systems and people fare under cross examination? This is the chance to find out with the benefit of the safety net of our theoretical mock trial scenario.

In consultation with you, we will devise a mock trial scenario that is industry specific and features an offence of your choosing. Offences under the law relating to health and safety, the environment, food safety, fire safety and trading standards can be selected.
