PRIVATE CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS
Over the last few months, the words “private prosecution” have been making headlines.
But what exactly is a private prosecution?
Well, in most cases, South Africa’s National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) decides whether or not to go ahead with prosecuting someone. If the NPA rejects the case, the law does allow for someone to pursue a private prosecution, even though it isn’t specifically detailed in the Constitution.
The two types of private prosecutions:
The first type involves a victim of crime (or a person authorised to represent the individual, like a relative for example) instituting a case after the NPA rejected and issued a certificate known as a nolle prosequi (a formal notice of abandonment by a plaintiff or prosecutor of all or part of a suit).
The second category is private prosecution by a human being (natural person) or a group of human beings, a corporation, a partnership, an estate, or other legal entity on the basis of specific pieces of legislation (no certificate is needed from the NPA) under Section 8 of the Criminal Procedure Act.
CRIMINAL DOCKET CONSTRUCTION
The purpose of the law is not only to protect Citizens but to empower South Africans and give them peace of mind when it comes to getting Justice for Crimes committed against them.
Using the CRIMINAL PROCEDURE, citizens have access to law enforcement and the justice system so that criminals can be identified and, ultimately, brought to justice.
STEP 1: Report the incident to Hornet Forensic Prosecutions so that a Police Docket can be opened.
STEP 2: The alleged CRIME will be investigated by one of our Senior Investigating Officers.
STEP 3: The Case will then be referred to the Hawks for further investigation and possible prosecution.
The Hornets will assist the Hawks, and/or “shadow the case”, and, if mandated, exercise a “watching brief”.
