Louise Hodges and Caroline Day, have again co-authored the chapter on witness interviews (UK perspective) in GIR's recently released fourth edition of the Practitioners Guide to Global Investigations 2020.
Louise and Caroline give an introduction in exploring the issues surrounding witness interviews, before considering the practices that can be adopted when conducting interviews and highlight some of the benefits and risks of these different approaches.
The chapter then considers the preparation and formalities that may be required for witness interviews in the United Kingdom, and identifies particular complexities that can arise in global investigations when multiple jurisdictions are involved.
