Response to Law Commission Consultation Paper: Evidence in Sexual Offences Prosecutions
September 2023
Natalie Kyneswood has provided a detailed response to Law Commission draft proposals to reform the law on special measures for complainants in sex offence cases.
In formulating her response, Natalie relied on data and analysis from her doctoral research into the s. 28 pilot for intimidated witnesses and her experience of observing rape trials at Crown Court involving a range of special measures.
Natalie has also discussed the Law Commission's draft proposals in a paper delivered to the CSLS Access to Justice Research Cluster in November 2023.
