Joint Enterprise
Dear Her Majesty's Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate,
In 2016 the Supreme Court ruled that Joint Enterprise had taken a wrong turn in 1984. This means Parasitic Accessorial Liability (PAL) possible foresight as intent can no longer be used to convict someone of a Joint Enterprise.
With this in mind can the CPS confirm that all CPS prosecutors have had robust training so as not to continue using this lose interpretation of the law?
After decades of prosecutors using the weak evidence of possible foresight can you confirm this line of prosecution has now been stamped out completely?
What re training of the prosecutors has taken place and what updates and examinations of cases has taken place to confirm the use of PAL no longer takes place?
Yours faithfully,
jan cunliffe
