Cps decision.
Notifications OFF
My person's case got sent off to cps quite quickly compared to others. Arrested in Feb and sent to cps in April. We're still waiting on a decision, I'm wondering how long once sent off to cps did your person wait to hear back for a decision.

Hi, the length of time will very much depend on whether the CPS have all the information they require the first time round. In my persons case the CPS sent it back at least twice asking for further information. As the information was across 2 different police forces this caused considerable delay. I think that once they have all the information they require it should take about 6 weeks.
We had the knock on the door in feb was extended til may and then till July. We then got a phone call last week from the police asking if my OH could come in Tuesday (tomo) but he's not arrested (whatever that means). We rang the solicitor and they said it looks like he could be charged but with what we don't know. So many things going through my head..
How many times can bail be extended while CPS is making a decision?
On the day of arrest, my OH was asked to come back after two and a half months. Then they called saying they didn't have a decision from CPS and asked him to come back in another two weeks that are soon due. Is that normal? I see a lot of people getting extensions of a few months rather than two weeks. I am already preparing myself for the possibility that this will be postponed again, but I just wanted to check if someone has had the same situation.

Hi Galaxy, yes that's what's happened to my person. It's been pushed back 3 times but each time it's been pushed back it's only been by a couple of weeks rather than months. I found it odd too because I hadn't heard of that either!
I am trying to think that we will be push back again! Last time when the laywer told us they didn't have any result it hit me so much and was so painful.
Just trying to understand how many times we will go through this. What is the purpose of making us live all this anxiety.

Got push back for 2 time and everytime i get more dissapoitment and sadness. Trying to get distracted as much I can but it is so hard today. The solictor told us bail can be extended for a total of 12 months after which then can be converted into released under investigation indefinitely. She also mentioned the CPS at the moment and at all stages of the justice system is not performing well and creating enormous delays.
We are waiting on cps and solicitor told us the bail clock stops and basically the OIC will contact us when they hear back from cps...it's a nightmare waiting and living in limbo but it seems we all just expected to get on with life as normal. We don't know when the call will come so could be today or 6 months.
4 months after the knock and then we 1 charge yesterday and then in court July 27th
Hi hugosmum and Bella
I am trying my best and do not think about it but every time I hear on the phone the solicitor saying "sorry no need to go" it's just a painful reminder of the long journey we still have ahead.
I would even prefer they do not tell us anything if they will then push back. I survive everyday trying just to think days will pass fast and we will know more and then again in the waiting

Hi, unfortunately it will be different for everyone. It's a horrible wait, like all the other waiting you do at each stage of this. I hope you don't have to wait too long. x
