The police will investigate, and the Procurator Fiscal will decide whether
there is enough evidence to prosecute. If this is the case, the case will go to
court. You can find more information about this on our [Court Support page].
Our EDDACS team can help you navigating the court case and advocating for
you if your case is being heard at the Summary level.
