Video Case Study 1: Regina v Lenny Wise

An Illustration of Mode of Trial Proceedings and Contested Bail Before Magistrates


Please note that this scenario was filmed before schedule 3 Criminal Justice Act 2003 was brought into force in 2013, which saw the abolition of committal proceedings and revision of the mode of trial enquiry to the allocation hearing in relation to either-way offences. For details on current practice and the latest legislation, please refer to the 2017-2018 edition of Criminal Litigation.


Scenario One has been divided into 8 smaller clips to allow faster download of each section: please note that larger files may take some time to download to your system.

Alternatively, if you intend to project the clips on to a large screen in a lecture, please email us to request higher resolution files.

Don't forget to download the instructions and documentation for the activity.
