A conviction following a private prosecution will result in the same punishment as if the case had been brought by the police or the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). As such, there is scope for prosecutors to seek a Confiscation Order which, if granted, gives the court the power to confiscate assets that they believe have resulted from criminal activity. Confiscation proceedings are not automatic, and the prosecution will have to apply for the proceedings to be opened and adjourned at the end of the case.
The Private Prosecution Solicitors at Wilford Smith will work tirelessly to obtain a Confiscation Order following a conviction. Confiscation is a useful means of deterring criminals; not only do they face a criminal conviction but they also lose their assets.
Private prosecutions remain a valuable alternative to public prosecution and we will take a robust and strategic approach. Whatever your circumstances, we can provide immediate legal advice from the outset of private prosecution proceedings to help you assess your options and make the best choices going forward.
