Reformers applaud proposal for body to review cases
Article Abstract:
The Royal Commission on criminal justice proposes a new body to replace the Home Office C3 department for investigating possible miscarriages of justice. It is difficult to establish the validity of new evidence with C3. The new Criminal Cases Review Authority would have lay members and lawyers appointed by the Lord Chancellor. The independent body would proactively examine submissions, administer investigations and refer cases to the court.
