On Tuesday 21st April Kieron Sharp, Director General FACT (Federation Against Copyright Theft) visited St John’s Chambers to meet Adrian Maxwell of the Regulatory Enforcement and Crime Team and Andrew Manners of Hugh James Solicitors (Cardiff) to discuss a model to handle FACT private prosecutions in the South West and Wales.
