Standards and Methodology of Assessing Performance 4.1 Standards The CPS applied the following tests for prosecutorial decision making during 2015: Para 4.2, Code of Conduct for Prosecutors, 2012:In the institution of criminal proceedings, they will proceed only when a case is well-founded upon evidence reasonably believed to be reliable and admissible, and will not continue with a prosecution in the absence of such evidence; throughout the course of the proceedings, the case will be firmly but fairly prosecuted; and not beyond what is indicated by the evidence. Guideline 3.1, Prosecutorial Decision Making Guidelines: The evidential test requires the prosecutor to ask whether there is a realistic prospect of conviction (it is more likely than not that the accused will be convicted). If there is not a realistic prospect of conviction the case cannot, and must not, go ahead Guideline 4.1: Where there is a realistic prospect of conviction, the prosecutor is required to consider whether it is in accordance with public interest to prosecute the Public Interest test. All prosecutions are in public interest unless there are factors in existence that require a prosecution may not be made 4.2 Methodology The following methods are used to assess performance of the Service. 4.2.1 Ensuring Excellence Through Monitoring Service The Service maintains standards both through internal checks and controls and through external inspections conducted by the Monitoring Service. Non-compliance with instructions, internal standards and guidelines, and statutory requirements are identified and recorded during the investigation of complaints and the processing of appeals/revisions against court decisions. Corrective actions based upon the reports of the Monitoring Service are taken by the Prosecution Department. In 2015, the Monitoring Service conducted 45 inspections involving the work of 138 prosecutors (14% of the available strength). The Monitoring Service reported less than satisfactory compliance with prosecutorial standards and guidelines. orAnnual Report UN TeV ess eeU ie Bye (ea 2015 4.2.2 Use of Information Technology ‘The CPS has been steadily introducing information technology over the past two years and has supplied 235 laptops procured by the Department to Prosecutors. thas also agreed with the Department to introduce a computerized Prosecution Case Flow Management System, which digitizes key prosecutorial decisions and allows for the consistent and effective monitoring of various aspects of prosecutorial work.
