Payment of costs applied for by the prosecutors

Although the police meet some of the costs involved in the prosecution, the costs of
investigation are typically sought from the convicted. These may include the costs of:

• The work done in obtaining sufficient evidence for prosecution either at the initial
stage or later at the request of Crown Prosecution Service (CPS)
• Seeking medical or expert evidence as part of the investigation, (where a witness is

required to attend Court, the cost of the attendance falls on the CPS).
• Re-interviewing witnesses
• The entire costs of the prosecutor, including fees for the use of external Barristers
used by the CPS, can be recovered from the defendant, subject to means. At the end
of the case, the prosecutor under The Prosecution of Offences Act 1985 will request

the Judge to order a sum to be paid for the costs incurred by the prosecutor in
bringing the prosecution.
