Director of Public Prosecutions Stephen Parkinson has introduced a two email limit for young lawyers who are hesitant to make phone calls, warning that a “generational divide” hampers efficient charging decisions. Mr Parkinson said: “Many issues are just solved quicker through a call rather than through endless email exchanges.” The Crown Prosecution Service now requires lawyers to follow up with phone calls after sending one written action plan to police. This change aims to enhance communication and expedite legal processes.
