Hearsay has for some time been subject to the statutory provisions of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 and it helps to have an introduction, or refresher for those who have been doing other things for a while, as well as looking the key case and some more recent appeals to see how the legislation works through in practice.

This presentation aims to do three things, review the key relevant provisions of the CJA 2003, second consider the steps laid out in the leading case of R v Riat & Others [2012] EWCA Crim 1509, and third look at other cases dealing with hearsay.

Hearsay remains a regular and significant issue in criminal proceedings, and it’s important to have a working knowledge.

The key legislation are sections 114 to 136 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003.
