This recent decision in HMA v PG & JM certainly raises some concerning questions about the future of evidentiary standards in Scots law. Corroboration has been a critical safeguard, ensuring that the risk of wrongful convictions is minimised. If the requirement for corroboration is diluted or removed, we need to consider what other safeguards should be implemented to protect against miscarriages of justice. For instance, Lady Paton’s dissent highlights an essential point: if we move away from corroboration, perhaps the introduction of alternative checks and balances would be necessary. This might include a requirement for a unanimous or super-majority jury verdict, or some form of pre-trial assessment of the evidence’s sufficiency. Furthermore, bias in juries is a complex issue. While a fully unbiased jury is an aspirational goal, it’s true that unconscious biases are difficult to measure or eliminate. Jury vetting could be an area worth exploring, but it would require careful implementation and might still struggle to address implicit biases. Additionally, we should consider whether this decision could result in an increased strain on court resources, given that more cases might be deemed prosecutable. The implications of this decision for the accused’s right to a fair trial cannot be ignored, especially when the balance between prosecuting offenders and protecting the rights of individuals remains delicate. Would love to hear thoughts on whether these additional measures or safeguards could genuinely compensate for the loss of corroboration, or if we risk undermining fundamental aspects of justice in Scots law.

Evidence in criminal cases The full bench decision in HMA v PG & JM [2024] HCJAC 43 has further diluted (and perhaps removed) the requirement for corroboration in many criminal law cases. The evidence of a single eye witness (usually the complainer) is now sufficient evidence for a conviction where (i) shortly after the incident the complainer tells another person that they were the victim of a crime and names the alleged perpetrator (a de recenti statement), and (ii) that other person gives evidence to confirm what they were told by the complainer. A second independent source of evidence to identify the perpetrator is no longer required. In a dissenting opinion Lady Paton warned of the possibility of miscarriages of justice because the Scottish public do not have the protections offers by other legal systems .“Other systems do not have the unique Scots law safeguard of corroboration. What they do have are numerous other checks and counterbalances which our criminal legal system does not have: for example, a requirement of jury unanimity or super majority; or a pre-jury qualitative assessment of sufficiency.” As a result of this decision many more cases will reach the threshold for a police charge and court prosecution. #law #criminallaw #evidence Levy & McRae Solicitors

From a previous Law class, the word 'tort' as well it's priority on safety. Tort Legal claim of civil wrong Not to be confused with tart, torte, or torta. A tort is a civil wrong that causes a claimant to suffer loss or harm, resulting in legal liability for the person who commits the tortious act. Tort law can be contrasted with criminal law, which deals with criminal wrongs that are punishable by the state. While criminal law aims to punish individuals who commit crimes, tort law aims to compensate individuals who suffer harm as a result of the actions of others. Some wrongful acts, such as assault and battery, can result in both a civil lawsuit and a criminal prosecution in countries where the civil and criminal legal systems are separate. Tort law may also be contrasted with contract law, which provides civil remedies after breach of a duty that arises from a contract. Obligations in both tort and criminal law are more fundamental and are imposed regardless of whether the parties have a contract. (Wikipedia)
