Table of Common Charge Options for State Offences
Mon Mar 18 2019A practitioners guide for the EAGP Scheme
Yesterday, at the annual Public Defenders Conference, the Table of Common Charge Options: a practitioners guide for the Early Appropriate Guilty Plea Scheme was launched. The tool is designed for all practitioners to assist with the EAGP scheme by providing a table of a very wide range of offences and alternatives from a variety of statutes and common law. It includes information about maximum penalties, standard non-parole periods and whether the offences are strictly indictable, Table 1, Table 2 or summary. This tool is for all practitioners and has been prepared by the Public Defenders with significant input from the legal Aid NSW and ODPP EAGP working groups.
