The Pre-Sentence Report Disclosure (Prescription of Prosecutors) Order 1998
This Order prescribes descriptions of prosecutors to whom a court which has obtained a pre-sentence report under Part I of the Criminal Justice Act 1991 must give a copy of that report. The court is also required to give a copy of the report to the offender or his counsel or his solicitor (or, if the offender is under 17 and not legally represented, to his parent or guardian if present in court). If the prosecutor is not of a description prescribed by this Order, the court need not give him a copy of the report if it considers that it would be inappropriate to do so.
