    - Is a criminal offence, for which there is no statutory penalty on summary conviction, triable summarily with the consent of the prosecution?
    (e.g. violent disorder, for which a person guilty of the offence shall be liable on conviction on indictment to a fine or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 10 years or to both)

    - Is a statutory inchoate offence under s. 7 Criminal Law Act 1997, actually an 'arrestable offence' as defined under s.2 of that Act, if the principle offence carries a penalty of five for more years imprisonment. Can a person actually be arrested & detained under s. 4 Criminal Justice Act, 1984, or does this only apply to 'completed' offences, or attempts to commit same? (I am aware that the Law Reform Commission has a publication on inchoate offences).

    Thank you.

    1) No it's triable only on indictment unless it's triable either way.
    2) Do your own homework on that one! :P
