Abstract

The management of long fraud trials has come under the spotlight again following the collapse of the Jubilee Line Extension case. Three major changes to fraud trials procedures are in the process of being introduced: the Lord Chief Justice's complex trials management protocol, a new offence of fraud (the Fraud Bill), and the removal of jury trial (implementing s. 43 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003). This article examines these initiatives and debates and considers whether they will improve the quality of justice.
