Separate Trials in UK Law
-
R v Ludlow
“
The judge has no duty to direct separate trials under section 5 (3) unless in his opinion there is some special feature of the case which would make a joint trial of the several counts prejudicial or embarrassing to the accused and separate trials are required in the interests of justice.
-
R v Lake
“
It has been accepted for a very long time in English practice that there are powerful public reasons why joint offences should be tried jointly. It also affects the desirability that the same verdict and the same treatment shall be returned against all those concerned in the same offence. If joint offences were widely to be tried as separate offences, all sorts of inconsistencies might arise.
-
Connelly v DPP
“
As a general rule a judge should stay an indictment (that is, order that it remain on the file not to be proceeded with) when he is satisfied that the charges therein are founded on the same facts as the charges in a previous indictment on which the accused has been tried, or form or are a part of a series of offences of the same or a similar character as the offences charged in the previous indictment.

R v Hayter (Paul Ali)
“
It has been accepted for a long time in English practice that, subject to a judge's discretion to order separate trials in the interests of justice, there are powerful public reasons why joint offences should be tried jointly: R v Lake (1976) 64 Cr App R 172, 175, per Widgery CJ. While considerations of the avoidance of delay, costs and convenience, can be cited in favour of joint trials this is not the prime basis of the practice.

Coenen v Payne
“
In future the Courts should be more ready to grant separate trials than they used to do. The normal practice should still be that liability and damages should be tried together. But the Courts should beready to order separate trials wherever it is just and convenient to do so.
-
R v Boardman
“
When in a case of this sort the prosecution wishes to adduce "similar fact" evidence which the defence says is inadmissible, the question whether it is admissible ought, if possible, to be decided in the absence of the jury at the outset of the trial and if it is decided that the evidence is inadmissible and the accused is being charged in the same indictment with offences against the other men the charges relating to the different persons ought to be tried separately.
