Investigations & Private Prosecutions

​Authorities can use the criminal system to prosecute people or companies. Section 6(1) Prosecution Offences Act 1985 provides the right for individuals and companies to bring a private prosecution. Private prosecutions are often quicker, more focused and more efficient than public prosecutions, especially in cases involving fraud. Private prosecutions are a useful tool in criminal cases of fraud and employee wrongdoing where law enforcement have no resources to investigate the case or the CPS decline to prosecute.
