Crown Court Index 2026 provides a guide to common penalties and formalities in cases tried on indictment or committed for sentence to the Crown Court, as well as appeals in criminal proceedings. This edition takes on board the latest additions and amendments to the Criminal Procedure Rules and Criminal Practice Directions, as well as legislative changes introduced in the last twelve months and key decisions of the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court. Dealing with everyday business in the Crown Court presents a myriad of complex issues, be they procedural questions pre-trial, during the trial itself or when it comes to sentence – and not only the sentence itself, but also the many possible ancillary orders. This year’s edition updates subjects of particular interest including appellate jurisdiction, bail and withholding bail, electronic monitoring equipment and applications to the Crown Court. Through their editorship of the Crown Court Index, HHJ Mark Lucraft KC, HHJ Rebecca Trowler KC and HHJ Simon Mayo KC provide continuing assistance for the busy judge, recorder and practitioner.
