Proceeding contribution from David Howarth (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Fraud (Trials without a Jury) Bill.
Fraud (Trials without a Jury) Bill
Is not the answer to the point made by the hon. and learned Member for Medway (Mr. Marshall-Andrews) provided by a point that was made by the hon. Member for Beaconsfield (Mr. Grieve)? Crown court judges are experienced in fraud trials, but only in fraud trials with juries, and they are not experienced in bench trials. In our system, such trials happen on the civil side but not on the criminal side. Also, High Court judges have experience as fact finders in complex civil trials.
