“File sent to DPP”

Motivator

What’s the process here? What happens when someone is released and a file is sent to the DPP?

It's sent to him in a cake


So that he can cut through the bars on his cell and break out of the drunk tank




He's an awful fella for the beer. Causes mayhem every night

The DPP decides whether to continue with the prosecution.

Or to paraphrase CSI:

In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police, who investigate crime; and the office of the director of public prosecutions, who prosecute the offenders.

(Then there’s the judiciary who leave everybody off).

A woman from Belfast was sent to jail for not paying her TV Licence. Not really, it was for not paying the fine for not paying the TV Licence.

It's a subtle but important separation of powers - the guards arrest you because they believe you've committed an offence, the DPP office decides if there is enough evidence to proceed with a case and what charges exactly that case should involve, and the court system decides if you are guilty or not.

You can probably see how the system would be open to corruption if there was big overlap between any of those 3 areas.

Similar to the boards "thread moved to legal discussion forum" process, except one takes a day and the other takes about 3 years before a judge says throw a tenner in the poor box there and behave

The DPP decides whether or not the state will pursue a conviction. The case file is reviewed and a decision is made whether or not to charge an individual for an offence.

Nothing more is heard about it.

Usually you get a one hour delivery window, and they send you a text, and email.

Hysterical media would never ever report the true reason - as it wouldn't rile up the brain dead readers

.

When a file is sent to the DPP, by the Guards, a prosecution hasn't started. All that has happened is that evidence has been gathered which might lead to a prosecution. It is for the DPP to review the evidence and decide on the next step.
