Consultation On The Code For Crown Prosecuters

Consultation On The Code For Crown Prosecuters

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has launced a consultation on a proposed new edition of the Code for Crown Prosecutors.

The Code is used on a daily basis by prosecturos and the police when deciding whether or not a suspect should be charged with a criminal offence. The curent edition of the Code was published in January 2013; the proposed revisions retain the style of the 2013 Code, which introduced a shorter, streamlined version, with an overarching statement of principles.

Furthe details, including a link to the proposed text for the updated Code can be found on the CPS website. The Consultation closes on 17 September 2018.
