Legal Guidance
The CPS has completed a year long project to revise and improve the accessibility of our Legal Guidance and we hope that you will welcome the changes.
Legal Guidance is core to the decision making of the CPS and in making the guidance publicly available, we underline our commitment to open and transparent decision making. We will strive to keep apace of changes in the law and procedure and will regularly update Legal Guidance.
