The Legal Process |
|||
Laying the Charge |
|||
| The police are responsible initially for charging the person with an offence. In more serious matters, the police may obtain advice from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) before laying the initial charge. In all cases, the charge may be reviewed subsequently by the police prosecutor, in the case of less serious offences, or the DPP in the case of more serious offences. | |||
