My person has told me that the duty solicitor said the police have 30 days to charge or?. I am I'm Scotland and after reading this forum I am now devastated even more. Any help or direction would be much appreciated. xx

My OH hasn't been charged he's on RUI, he's been waiting to hear something for over 2 years now. They can only hold you on bail for so long without having to get further permission from court, prepare for a wait because there's nothing fast about this awful situation ): x

Also in Scotland. Having read these forums I was prepared to wait ages too.

We had the knock at end of July but he was charged within the month (iioc) and has a court date in November. I think Scotland is quicker plus it depends on what they've done and what type of evidence is required.

I'm in Scotland and we've been waiting 18 months now to hear anything back. Don't know if devices or anything have even been checked yet. It's so different up and down the country
