Members of Trinity's Criminal and Regulatory teams will be delivering an in-person seminar entitled:
“Unavailable Witnesses - Hearsay Provisions & Applications for a Witness to Give Evidence from Abroad.”
Trinity barristers, Josh Normanton and Shada Mellor, will present a practical and interactive seminar covering:
1. Hearsay Provisions:
- Witness is deceased or unfit to give evidence
- Location of the witness cannot be ascertained despite reasonable efforts
- Witness is in fear
- Witness is outside the jurisdiction, and it is not reasonably practicable to secure their attendance
- Res gestae
- Admission in the interests of justice
2. Procedure for securing a witness to give evidence from another jurisdiction.
The event is FREE to attend. Registration is at 5.15pm, with the talks taking place between 5.30pm and 6.30pm, followed by a Q&A session. The seminar will conclude with an opportunity to network with colleagues over refreshments.
