Public notice by a prosecutor

If there are a very large number of injured parties, i.e. victims of an offence, in a case under consideration by the prosecutor, the prosecutor may announce their decisions by way of a public notice.

This means that the prosecutor will not notify each injured party individually; instead, the National Prosecutor Authority will publish a public notice on its website.

Where there is a very large number of injured parties in a criminal case, through a public notice the prosecutor may issue

• a decision to waive charges, or
• a decision not to pursue an injured party’s claims the compensation.

If the prosecutor decides to bring charges, the case is referred to the District Court and all communication relating to the case is the responsibility of the District Court. The District Court summons the parties to a criminal case to the main hearing, i.e. the trial. 

Public notice published on National Prosecution Authority’s website

The National Prosecution Authority publishes public notices from prosecutors in the form of customer notices. New notices are always displayed on the front page, and all notices published by the National Prosecution Authority can be found on the Notices and appeal rulings page.

We also aim to publish information about new public notices on our social media channels.
