A conditional caution may be given for reasons including that a prosecutor considers there is sufficient evidence to prosecute the offender and the offender admits the offence and agrees to a conditional caution being imposed.

This Order brings into force on 16 November 2009 the remaining provisions of section 27 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 defining “relevant prosecutor” for the purposes of Part 3. The effect of this is to add further persons to the class of “relevant prosecutor”.
