These were a couple of Q's posed a while back and seem to mirror an issue that has been posed to me just now. I guess the main question has to be is there a definition of what constitutes "Decline to prosecute"? If a case is first accepted and filed only to be dismissed later, for whatever reason, is this considered as being declined (not counting a case that is dismissed as being taken into consideration for a plea on another)?
Has this been decided or does it simply depend on what the Bail Board decides?
Thanks in advance.
