| Video Discription | The Statute of Limitations is used to prevent old prosecutions from being brought outside of a specified period of time. The Statute was designed with the intention of compelling the State to bring any prosecutions they may be thinking of bringing in a timely fashion. This is because of the right of all citizens to have their cases dealt with expeditiously. Even in circumstances where the Statute doesn’t apply (e.g. Theft) if the State decide to bring a prosecution that is 3 or more years old, they will have to be able to show to the court what steps they took to bring the prosecution in good time. This is because the Defendant can raise a defence of “undue delay”, where the State have taken an unreasonable amount of time to prosecute them. A criminal law solicitor effectively spends their working in court addressing Judges on behalf of their clients. The cases that a criminal solicitor deals with vary obviously but the majority of these cases come within the ambit of about 3-4 Acts. For example, public order offences (governed by the Criminal Justice Public Order Act 1994) are the most prevalent cases that appear in court lists across Ireland. Offences of this type include being drunk in a public place, engaging in threatening or abusive or insulting words in a public place, and refusing to leave an area when directed to do so by a Garda. They occupy the majority of offences in the court lists every day, testifying to the negative effects of alcohol and substance-abuse in our society. This is followed by offences related to theft (governed by the Criminal Law Theft and Fraud Offences Act 2001) and of these the most prevalent one is theft itself followed by deception, making a gain or causing a loss, possession of stolen property and handling stolen property etc. After these, offences governed by the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Persons Act 1997 usually follow next. These generally include assault, assault causing harm, harassment and threats to kill. Next come road traffic offences. Of this type are speeding, drink or drug driving, dangerous driving and careless driving and various penalty point offences. These core group of offences above make up the majority of cases that appear in court lists every day. The Probation Act is an acknowledgement by you and the court that you have committed some offence and because the offence is minor and the rules of natural justice are such that to leave you with a conviction for so minor an offence might have a disproportionally negative impact on your life going forward, the court can sometimes agree to mark the case proven but not to impose a conviction. This isn’t open for every offence obviously, just minor ones and it does require you to acknowledge that you were wrong in committing the minor offence. If you decide to plead not guilty and are later found guilty you will find it harder to convince the court to leave you without a conviction precisely because you did not acknowledge your guilt in the first place. criminal solicitors dublin what does a criminal solicitor do how can people see the same thing differently what does the probation act mean in ireland how long is the statute of limitations #criminalsolicitorsdublin #whatdoesacriminalsolicitordo #howcanpeopleseethesamethingdifferently #whatdoestheprobationactmeaninireland #howlongisthestatuteoflimitations https://www.legalindexireland.com https://www.legalindexireland.com/videos/blog/what-does-the-probation-act-mean-in-ireland-criminal-law-solicitors-dublin-ireland-patrick-horan This video was created on https://www.videorankme.com [zFMl0hWKbp8] |
