- It can be used to protect informants in serious crimes.
Court's Role in PII
- The court determines whether PII should be upheld or if the evidence should be disclosed.
Sensitive Information

- The prosecutor reviews the disclosure test.
CPIA 1996 and Defence Disclosure
- The CPIA 1996 covers defence disclosure under Section 6.
- A defence statement must be issued if the case is to be heard in crown court and prosecution has complied with Section 3 (disclosing relevant material).
