What happens if the officer in the case and the charging lawyer disagree over the extent of the necessary file build?
A. The dispute resolution procedure in the Director’s Guidance on Charging should be followed. In practice, if the situation is explained and discussed between the lawyer and officer, there should be very little disagreement. Continuing difficulties should be referred to the appropriate level of management to reach agreement and resolve any local operational difficulties.
