This book reveals what happens to applications for post-conviction review when those in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland who believe they are wrongfully convicted apply to the Criminal Cases Review Commission, the only body that can refer a case back to the Court of Appeal once appellants opportunities for direct appeal are exhausted. While the Court is obliged to hear all such referrals, the Commission can only refer a case where it believes there is a real possibility that the Court will quash the conviction. The first empirical study of all stages of decision-making within the Commission, this book starts from the premise that the test applied by the Commission (the real possibility test) is not inflexible. Though created by statute and refined through case law, it must be determined on a case-by-case basis, drawing too on cultural and structural variables, alongside fresh evidence gathered by the Commission. Through in-depth analysis of case files and interviews, Hoyle and Sato scrutinize the Commissions operational practices, its working rules and assumptions, considering how these influence its understanding of the real possibility test. Situating their rich empirical data within a framework of the Commissions social, organizational, and legal contexts, this book demonstrates that in its open-ended investigations there is considerable scope for discretion; for thorough exploration of all possible avenues or for choosing a more superficial consideration of a case. It emerges that while structured internal guidance, drawing heavily on Court jurisprudence, shapes decision-making, creating consistency in approach, there remains some variability across cases, over time, that can be accounted for by the different professional backgrounds and personalities of Commission staff.

This book addresses the European Court of Human Rights’ fairness standards in criminal appeal, filling a gap in this less researched area of studies. Based on a fair trial immediacy requirement, the Court has found several violations of Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights at the appellate level by at least eighteen States of the Council of Europe in a vast array of cases, particularly in contexts of first instance acquittals overturning and of sentences increasing on appeal. On the one hand, the book critically engages this case-law with the law revisions it has recently inspired in European countries, as well as with the critiques and difficulties that it continues to raise. On the other hand, it interweaves insight from criminal procedure theory with new discoveries in the field of cognitive sciences (neuroscience of memory, philosophy of knowledge, AI), shedding an interdisciplinary light on the (in)adequacy and limits of the Strasbourg Court’s jurisprudence.

The French have recently created a jury court of appeal (cour d'assises d'appel) for appeals from the jury trial court (cour d'assises) which latter, transplanted from the British after the Revolution, judges serious criminal cases. A convicted accused has now a right to a new trial before another jury court. This article looks at why and how this new court came to be added to the French criminal justice system. It notes that that system, essentially operated by legal professionals (judges and prosecutors), has now opted for an increased role for lay persons in the disposition of serious criminal cases. It also notes that despite the second chance offered those convicted by the cour d'assises there has so far been a low level of appeals (about 10 per cent of convictions), partly explicable perhaps by a rate of re-conviction no lower than in the cour d'assises - 95 per cent.The article then considers by way of contrast how the United Kingdom and Australia have dealt with appeals from convictions by juries, noting that convictions by the well entrenched and highly regarded criminal juries in those jurisdictions may be overridden by courts of criminal appeal on very broad criteria (unsafe conviction, miscarriage of justice) which ultimately allow a subjective judicial reaction to the guilt of the accused. It may be seen as ironic that the French have extended the use of the jury in giving an accused a second chance while the British and Australians have allowed a degree of judicial second guessing over jury verdicts. The article also looks at alternative revision procedures for alleged miscarriages of justice in serious criminal cases in France, the United Kingdom and Australia.

"This discussion paper deals with the law on double jeopardy. The rule against double jeopardy prevents a person who has been acquitted or convicted of an offence from being tried again for an offence relating to the same conduct or event. The rules which govern this area of law are technical and complex, and will not be the main focus of this paper. This paper will focus instead on the principles which guide and reinforce the application of the law on double jeopardy in relation to acquittals and subsequent prosecutions. The views expressed by the Committee are reflected in the draft model provisions that accompany this paper." -- p. ii.
