Legal Advice for Private Prosecution

Companies use private prosecutions cases when they want to act against employees. This could be because of suspected fraud, for example. Companies often prefer to use private prosecutions because it’s quicker and more efficient. Civil cases cost more and take longer. 

A company can use private prosecution if a crime took place too long ago to bring a civil case. For a crime committed in the past, a company can use private prosecution to prosecute you. If you’re convicted in a private prosecution, you can face the same punishments as you would in court. If you’re found guilty you could end up in prison.
