The reader is reminded that this paper is not intended to include detailed legal research, either as to the common law or legislation relating to sex matters. It is intended to provide the ‘basics” in some terminology and directions given by a trial judge; and to get the reader thinking about potential strategies and which may be best suited to you and/or your client’s case; together with some very real practical considerations, some of which may not have previously been encountered.
This paper will refer to some case studies from which one will be able to discern the strategies employed to assist the advocate/instructing solicitor.
