Introduction Richard Carey-Hughes QC is a highly experienced silk with a heavy criminal practice primarily centred at the Old Bailey. He specialises in all aspects of criminal law including murder, organised crime and serious fraud. He has a particular expertise in joint enterprise murder cases and successfully represented all four appellants in the leading case of A,B,C&D in the Court of Appeal; in this case the Vice President gave the judgment which is widely accepted as the most complete and authoritative rehearsal of the law relating to joint enterprise murder. Richard Carey-Hughes also appeared in the House of Lords in the appeals which restricted the automatic inclusion of police officers and prosecutors on juries. He was recently involved in the Court of Appeal in the current leading authority on legal professional privilege which effectively overturned a long line of criminal appeal authority on this complex topic. His practice in financial crime is extensive and includes appearing in cases which involve solicitors and accountants as defendants and SFO prosecutions. |
