Practitioner''s Guide to Ancillary Orders in Criminal Courts

‘Sets out the criteria and law surrounding orders and explains them clearly and in detail: it addresses an often overlooked area of the law but one that it is essential we understand and apply correctly.’

Sir Brian Leveson, former President of the Queen’s Bench Division, Head of Criminal Justice – in his Foreword to the first edition

A Practitioner’s Guide to Ancillary Orders in Criminal Courts sets out the law, application and analysis relating to ancillary orders that are available to criminal courts. It covers orders available on acquittal, such as Restraining Orders and Defence Costs Orders, as well as those available on conviction, such as Compensation Orders and Directors’ Disqualification Orders.

Many of these orders are available in the magistrates’ courts as well as the Crown Court, therefore practitioners of all levels of experience and practice need to be aware of them. In addition to providing guidance on, and analysis of, those orders, this book also sets out the consequences of breaches.

The Second Edition includes new coverage of the following orders:

- Prohibition Order - Psychoactive Substances
- Exclusion Order - Licensed Premises

This book helps you to ensure that clients do not have an unwarranted or overly onerous order imposed on them. It is an easy reference guide for courts and advocates alike.
