One Punch Killers

In a split second a person can become a killer or be killed. A One Punch Killer is when someone throws a single punch that results in a death, and often when the perpetrator does not intend to kill, but nevertheless, a single punch that has a devastating effect. But how is this dealt by our laws, when an unfortunate and unexpected criminal act is carried out, when the intention was not to kill and possibly the only intention was to have a good old-fashioned street brawl? Would the perpetrator be given any leniency in law? Controversy surrounds this topic; with questions being asked on ‘what is a fair price for someone to pay for causing a death, even though it was unintended?’. In some cases, it has been argued that long prison sentences should not be handed out due to an unfortunate event of death not being the intention by the accused, whilst campaigners demand tougher sentences. In this episode senior Barrister Simon Spence KC and Hatti Suvari will bring you interesting, insightful and jargon free conversation that you will hear nowhere else! As always in plain and simple English. ... Read more

Parents make sure your children listen to this! And young people, this is MUST listen episode that will help you to stay on the right side of our laws! We are not taught the basics of the laws of our land anywhere! Not even in school, unless it is electively learnt. With over 18million young people in the UK aged between 10 and 18, and statistically with the number of young adults in Britain is set to continue to rise sharply, there is so much that young, fresh, ambitious and energetic youngsters, as well as their parents, carers and friends, should know about on this topic; to understand it, and to keep themselves safe from breaking the law. There are many myths on this subject, and surprisingly the UK legal age that you can have sex, engage sexually with another person using online Apps, drink alcohol and fly the nest, is NOT common knowledge! Furthermore, very few know which acts can be a criminal offence, and this has resulted in a sharp rise in young people getting on the wrong side of our laws! There are serious repercussions for a young person, if a complaint is made about them to the Police, if they have had sex with an underage person, or drinking alcohol where they’re not supposed to, and in many more circumstances. In this episode award winning legal professional Carla Riozzi, and our host Hatti Suvari discuss all you NEED to know on all of this and much more!

Can I Claim For A Defective Property?

Buying a property can be a complicated and stressful process, and although the majority of property transactions proceed without a hitch, it is an unfortunate reality that innocent buyers can be left in a situation where they have purchased a property, that then shows defects and it needs to be fixed, through no fault of the buyers. In most cases, if you buy something and any defects where not outlined at the time of your purchase, then you can go back to the seller and legally ask for a refund. However, would that apply to a defective property? In this episode, Hatti and experienced barrister Antonia Halker tell you whether or not a claim can be made on a defective property after its purchase, to whom you could consider bringing a claim against, and making a claim for the costs of putting the property right, and much much more!

Private Criminal Prosecutions & The Law - Part 2

Whilst issuing a Claim against someone in the Civil Courts is something that most of us are familiar with, bringing a private criminal prosecution is not a topic that many are aware of. If you have reported an incident to the Police, and the Police have not taken action to prosecute the party that you have complained about, can you then, as an individual, bring a private criminal prosecution against a person or a company? Interestingly, the law does allow for individuals to bring criminal proceedings, so join Hatti Suvari and the former Chief Crown Prosecutor and Barrister Nick Hawkins, in this informative episode to find out about how this area of our criminal law works. Hatti and Nick discuss the role of the Crown Prosecution Service (also referred to as the CPS), outline what the Private Prosecutions Associations is, and what it does to assist, as well as aspects of the all-important Code of Practice, for those that are considering a Private Prosecution or perhaps defending a Private Prosecution. This informative and jargon free episode gives you an insight in to how to start a Private Prosecution, and the important considerations that should be made, including the costs involved, as always, in plain and simple English.Learn more about your ad choices.

Young Offenders - What You NEED To Know.

Young offenders are children aged between just 10 to 17 years old. Unfortunately, youth crime is on the up, with the number of children in custody in England and Wales expected to double by 2024. Most children and parents do not know the age at which a child can get a criminal record for wrong-doing, and also how long a criminal record remains on someone’s file. There are many unknowns and myths surrounding this topic, such as where a child would service a criminal sentence, and what happens to children when they serve sentences. At Get Legally Speaking, we believe that if children were aware of just some of these simple legal facts, then some would be put off committing crimes, empowered with the facts of the consequences of doing so. This is a must listen episode for youngsters, and for parents! As a young person or a parent, it is so important to be well-informed on the laws of our land, especially during important and vulnerable times of our lives from 10 to 18 years old.
