Podcasts about joint enterprise

A parliamentary inquiry has just started work into the law around Joint enterprise, and the Law Commission is also looking at ways to reform the law. It will report back next year.Joint enterprise is contentious because if a person is seen to be involved in a crime - from knowing about it, egging someone on, being present, or being able to predict that someone is likely to use a weapon like a gun - then they could be considered as guilty as the person who pulled the trigger. It has a long history, but in recent times, it has been used as a way of prosecuting murder, especially in cases involving groups of people, when it's not known who carried out a killing. But is it being applied fairly? The CPS says “We choose the right charges for the right people based on the evidence in front of us. We look objectively at the evidence before making our own decisions.and they add that “The CPS carefully monitors joint enterprise prosecutions, with senior legal oversight over every case to ensure that our approach is fair and proportionate.”But campaigners say joint enterprise disproportionately results in working-class and black youths being prosecuted and convicted.

Following the events of the 7th October in which around 1400 people were killed in Israel and over 200 taken hostage, Israel has been striking back against Hamas in Gaza. What does international law say about self-defence and proportionate responses to attacks? Joshua Rozenberg asks expert Professor Guglielmo Verdirame KC of Kings College. The government is proposing to rent prison space abroad, due to a risk of prison overcrowding here. There is precedent: Norway sent prisoners to a Dutch prison, for example. How did that work out in practice? What lessons were being learnt? Prisons expert Professor Alison Liebling of Cambridge University has studied and evaluated the Norwegian-Dutch case. How safe are Joint Enterprise convictions for murder? As a result of legal action on behalf of JENGbA (Joint Enterprise Not Guilty by Association), the Crown Prosecution Service has started to gather, and publish, data about those charged with Joint Enterprise homicide or attempted homicide. The figures show that young black men are vastly overrepresented among those charged under the Joint Enterprise doctrine. The convictions are difficult to appeal, as the threshold is high. In 2016 the Supreme Court admitted the law had "taken a wrong turn" on Joint Enterprise for 30 years. What went wrong, and is it being put right? We hear from Professor Felicity Gerry KC, who led the defence in the 2016 Supreme Court case, and from someone who served a Joint Enterprise sentence for murder, even though he says he was not present at the killing and only found out about it afterwards.

Rika Beppu was adamant she would forge her career through her own hard work as an English lawyer working in a UK firm. When her firm offered her the role of a lifetime and an opportunity to be the founding partner of a new office in Tokyo, this really challenged her idea of how she had planned her career and it did not include Japan! Listen as we hear how Rika navigated her career to where she is today. In this episode you'll hear: How Rika came to be inspired to study law after living with a law student in the US. Why she decided to pursue her law career in the UK, intentionally avoiding firms with connections to Japan What happened when she was offered a founding partner position in Tokyo How Rika has thrived in her board role as an outside director Her favourite saying and other fun facts About Rika Rika Beppu is a corporate M&A lawyer who has been practicing law in Tokyo as a foreign-registered lawyer for the past two decades. After her first degree from the English Language and Foreign Studies faculty of Sophia University, Rika studied and worked in the UK as an English law solicitor. She then came to Tokyo to open the first joint enterprise between a large Japanese law firm and an international law firm. Rika advises Japanese corporates in their global M&A transactions which span the globe. More recently she has been involved in divesting non-core global businesses of Japanese companies. She is passionate about equality in the workplace and in society and has been inspired by her experience as an Asia Society Young Global Leader fellow to contribute to and give back to society in different ways. This led her to be instrumental in founding Women in Law Japan in 2016 together with a group of amazing like-minded female legal professionals. She has also become active in the Lawyers for LGBT & Allies Network in Japan which fully supports equal marriage rights in Japan. In her role as chair of the legal services committee of the European Business Council (that is, the EU Chamber of Commerce in Japan), she advocates for a level playing field for foreign registered lawyers, in particular, she is advocating that the three-year work experience rule should be abolished in its entirety. In June 2022, Rika was appointed as an outside director of Mitsubishi Materials Corporation and is relishing this new challenge.

It appears that the working class are the only ones who are subject to this law. Why?

The law of joint enterprise murder has been described as a dragnet because it can criminalise people on the very periphery of a crime. This week I am joined by Jan Cunliffe and John Crilly, two people who's life experiences have led them to campaigning against what they see as an unjust law. For more information and to support the podcast go to www.betterhumanpodcast.com

Campaigners and activists Gloria and Lisa joined us to break down the history and contemporary injustices of Joint Enterprise. Joint Enterprise is a common law doctrine where an individual can be jointly convicted of the crime of another if the court decides they foresaw that the other party was likely to commit that crime. https://jointenterprise.co/

Plenty of people take wrong turns in their lives. But so too can justice systems. John Crilly and hundreds more have been the victims of the legal doctrine of Joint Enterprise and how it has been applied for the past 30 years. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

According to The Washington Post, the Defense Department announced Tuesday that the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure cloud contract , which was awarded to Microsoft almost two years ago, is being canceled. Amazon had been contesting the contract, claiming that the process that resulted in it being awarded to Microsoft was influenced by former President Donald Trump's use of "improper pressure". Amazon's shares rose 4.69% and Microsoft's shares kept flat today.

Miscarriages of Justice: The Joint Enterprise conundrumWith Guests Gloria Morrison: Co-founder of JENGbAand Becky Clarke: Senior Lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan UniversityIn 2015 the Supreme Court determined that the law of joint enterprise had been wrongly interpreted for 30 years, yet people convicted under that discredited law are still languishing in prison. It was used to convict marginalised and vulnerable defendants predominately from BAME and working-class communities resulting in numerous miscarriages of justice. With little or no actual evidence of involvement against them, many of these defendants were given mandatory life sentences for simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Garry Newlove died in 2007 after confronting a gang of youths he suspected of vandalising his wife's car. Three teenagers aged 19, 17 and 16 were convicted of his murder. Garry Newlove's death was one of a number of high profile, widely reported murders in England during the late 2000s which purported to highlight the rise of crime involving youth gangs. Other comparable murders around the same time which attracted national attention were the murders of Tom ap Rhys Pryce, Sophie Lancaster, Rhys Jones, Jimmy Mizen and Ben Kinsella, all of which were committed by teenagers.In this episode Raphael speaks to the mother of one of the teenagers convicted of Garry Newlove murder.Links:JENBA: https://jointenterprise.co/Garry Newlove: https://victimscommissioner.org.uk/baroness-newlove/Second Chance: facebook.com/RaphaelRowePodcast/Second Chance Webpage: Second ChanceYour Vision Media LTD: www.yourvisionmedia.tvStudio Minerva: https://studiominerva.co.uk/home/

Joint Enterprise is the law by which a group of people can be convicted with the same offence and earlier this year the Supreme Court ruled that Joint Enterprise law had been misinterpreted for 30 years. This gave campaigners significant hope as they say Joint Enterprise is an unjust law, especially when applied to murder convictions because all defendants face the same mandatory life sentence even if they were periphery players. But these hopes were dashed when the Court of Appeal announced that it was not going to permit thirteen Joint Enterprise murder convictions to be reviewed. Joshua Rozenberg explores why the court came to this decision - and asks if the perceived unfairness over Joint Enterprise points to bigger problems with the law of homicide. Also on the programme: Soon-to-be President Donald Trump has said one of his most important tasks will be to appoint a judge to the US Supreme Court, which he has said would be pro-life and pro-gun ownership. To what extent can he be sure that the Supreme Justices will do his bidding? And after 500 years, the trial of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark will be heard in London in a mock trial featuring real QCs, and a real judge. Law in Action hears how the prosecution and defence are going to state their case.

Professor Graham Virgo is Professor of English Private Law at the Faculty of Law, University of Cambridge, and also Deputy Chair of the Faculty Board. In this video, Professor Virgo considers the current position of the law relating to defendants who are prosecuted in cases of 'common purpose'. Several different circumstances are often combined to form the confused category of 'Joint Enterprise'. Professor Virgo outlines these different circumstances, criticises the current state of the law in this field, and seeks to provide some possible reforms to clarify the situation. In April 2014, the Bureau of Investigative Journalism published the results of the first statistical analysis of 'Joint Enterprise' homicide cases. Both Professor Virgo and Dr Matthew Dyson (also of the University of Cambridge) were consulted by the BIJ as part of the investigation (see http://www.law.cam.ac.uk/press/news/2014/04/graham-virgo-and-matthew-dyson-consulted-on-joint-enterprise-report-by-bureau-of-investigative-journalism/2602) A BBC documentary broadcast on 7 July 2014 examined this area of law and specifically the case of Alex Henry, who was found guilty of stabbing Taqui Khezihi, despite him claiming to have never touched the knife. (See http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b049bb31) The BBC also broadcast a drama based on 'joint enterprise' law on 6 July 2014 entitled 'Common'.
