Matt Hardcastle and Max Baines will review the Pre-Charge Engagement scheme.  Matt will cover the application of the scheme at the pre-charge stage and in particular what the scheme involves, how and when it should happen, and tactical considerations for defence solicitors.  Max will draw on his significant experience to consider how the scheme is likely to be managed by the prosecution and the likely developments at the post-charge stage.
