How must a document be served on a prosecutor, and what does the file need to show about the destination?
General information · Not legal advice
Material to check
In a practice file we read the paper being served and the address or name written on it, the record or receipt showing which public prosecution office or branch office it was sent to, and any paper showing which office the prosecutor belonged to at that time.
These are types of material to look for, not evidence already verified by PRO SE.
Where readings differ
One reading takes the provision as a rule about route rather than about the person: service on a prosecutor is made by sending the document to each-level public prosecution office and branch office to which that prosecutor belongs, so the file's task is to show the sending and the destination office.
Another reading notes what the provision does not settle, since it names only the office to which the document is sent and says nothing about when service takes effect, what proof of service must record, or what happens if the prosecutor's affiliated office is unknown or has changed, so those points cannot be read off this text.
Your judgment
If the prosecutor was transferred between the sending and the arrival of the document, how could the file show which office the prosecutor then belonged to?
PRO SE does not make this decision or keep a case record on this public site.When to reconsider
We look at this again if the provision is amended to change how service on a prosecutor is routed, or if a court decision states when service on the affiliated office takes effect or what proof it requires.
