Evidence from the United Kingdom in cases of serious or complex fraud
It is now possible for overseas prosecutors and investigators, in cases of serious or complex fraud, to ask for the help of the Serious Fraud Office to obtain evidence in the United Kingdom. The Serious Fraud Office works closely with the Metropolitan Police. A copy of a report describing these procedures can obtained from the Home Office
Juries In Serious Fraud Trials
In 1998 the Home Office issued a consultation paper dealing with the method of trial for cases of serious and complex fraud. The paper sought to respond to particular difficulties which had arisen in cases in England and Wales and put forward options based on its law and procedures. The operation of jury trials in respect of other offences was not considered, nor were aspects of fraud trials other than the composition of the fact-finding tribunal. It invited views both on whether an alternative method of trial should be available in serious and complex fraud cases and on the viability of various options. Full details, including a copy of the report can obtained from the Home Office
