CHECKLISTS
This Checklist should be read alongside Practice Note: Case management in the magistrates’ courts.
Prior to getting to court
Be aware that some criminal matters are managed through Common Platform (the magistrates’ court’s digital case management system). In such instances, the Initial Details of the Prosecution Case (IDPC) and other case material are served and retrieved online via Common Platform. Case progression—such as completing the Preparation for Effective Trial (PET) form and serving any applications—is also carried out through Common Platform. For further details, see Practice Note: How to use Common Platform and the Digital Case System.
Requesting the Initial Details of the Prosecution Case
Defence advocates should obtain the IDPC by contacting the relevant Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) contact through:
