The publicity attached to the Thorpe case earlier this year brought to the fore a number of questions about the value of Committal Proceedings. Are they a waste of public time and money? Do they mean that defendants have. in effect, to stand trial twice? Should all reporting of them be banned? Should the Scottish system of a Procurator-Fiscal be adopted in the rest of the UK?
Hugo Young discusses these questions with, among others:
Nicholas Fairbairn , QC, MP, the Solicitor-General for Scotland; Lord Hail-sham of St Marylebone. the Lord Chancellor: Mr Justice Ackner : Alex Lyon , mp: and Peter Taylor , QC.
