I'm still waiting on some important disclosure evidence from the CPS to arrive.It's only 5 weks till my trial.This evidence could be important,and i need time for my specialist to asses the value,and report.

Can I force my defense to team to push the CPS in court beforehand to give it over? Don't want it arriving on the trial day,or not at all.

Yes you must insist that the CPS hand over all disclosure well before the trial or postpone the trial.

Push your solicitor to pull his finger out.

If they dont disclose you can ask for the trial to be abandoned. Solicitors dont tell you this if you are on legal aid - but the law is clear that if the prosecution does not disclose then they can be taken to court and forced to disclose.

When a case is weak ( or non existant ) the CPS refuses to disclose. Often it ends up in court and collapses on the day - because the evidence they claim they have does not exist.

Therefore you MUST take action now and get into court about this.

Dont expect that the evidence will be disclosed - often it NEVER happens. This puts you on trial without knowing what and why you are accused of.

It is a classic PYSCHOLOGICAL ATTEMPT to harass you - and courts are well aware that the CPS do this - and they will be VERY sympathetic to you.

This is appalling - and you should scream the house down about your human rights ( anyone else would - especially if they had a paid for lawyer)
