Prosecuting and defending a regulatory prosecution:

views from each end of the Bar table 

 Regulatory prosecutions occupy an increasingly prominent place in environmental and planning practice. Legislative obligations have increased, penalties have escalated, regulators' expectations of compliance have sharpened, and practitioners are more likely than ever to find themselves involved in enforcement proceedings. However, the decisions that shape a prosecution are often made well before anyone stands up in court: how to investigate, what to charge, what to concede or challenge, and when to resolve.
 
Saul Holt KC, 8 Petrie Terrace Chambers, and Susan Hedge, Byth Chambers, have prosecuted and defended regulatory and criminal proceedings at every level by appearing for regulators, corporations, and individuals alike. Drawing on that experience from both ends of the Bar table, they will share their perspectives on how regulatory prosecutions are built, met, and resolved in practice. Join us for a rare opportunity to hear both sides of the record in the one evening.
