Notice of intended prosecution

Notice of intended prosecution

1) Notice given/sent by police to offender to notify their intention of prosecuting. Not always necessary if offender was warned at the time of likely proceedings; or at that time or immediately after the offence an accident occurred; or a summons to appear in Court is sent within 14 days of the offence.

Otherwise notice must (normally) be sent within 14 days but there are reasons when it may not be so.
