Recommendation
The Government’s response to our report on private prosecutions concluded that the rules should be changed to level down what private prosecutors can recover from central funds. Our view is that this is the wrong approach. The right approach would be to make the system fairer by levelling up and removing the cap on what reasonable costs acquitted defendants may recover from central funds.
