Legal guidance
This area of the CFD section of the website provides legal professionals and others with information on the legal guidance that shapes how we prosecute.
The information in this section is broken down by subject into the following areas:
As Crown Prosecutors, the Code for Crown Prosecutors provides us with guidance on the general principles to be applied when making decisions about prosecutions.
Attorney General's guidance
One of the roles of the Attorney General is to offer guidance on various aspects of the law as they relate to prosecutions. The guidance is not binding but prosecutors are expected to follow it.
