An in person seminar dealing with the issues that arise when the lay client is not only in hot water with their regulatory body, but facing criminal investigation, prosecution or is required to provide evidence to the coroner.
Fiona Horlick QC will look at tactics and strategy during the criminal investigation and trial with an eye to subsequent regulatory proceedings.
Fraser Livesey will look at some real-world examples where HSE, GMC, CQC or the like are observing and taking notes when the lay client is called to give evidence in the Coroner’s Court. What strategy to deploy and tactics to take? Will their evidence be pounced on and expose them to other proceedings?
