The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has robust processes for dealing with cases involving deaths in custody or in contact with police which follow the requirements of the then Attorney General's "Review of the Role and Practices of the CPS in Cases Arising from a Death in Custody 2003".<\/p>
All death in custody cases are dealt with by the CPS Special Crime and Counter Terrorism Division to ensure consistency of approach and that they are dealt with by lawyers with the necessary skills and experience. Only very experienced senior lawyers, who are specifically designated, are permitted to review death in custody cases. The reviews carried out by the senior lawyer in cases involving deaths in custody are examined by their line manager and then by the Head of Special Crime & Counter Terrorism Division (or her Deputy). They are then submitted to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for final approval. In any case where the decision is not to proceed, unless the DPP is satisfied that it is "plain beyond doubt" that there is no case to answer, experienced external counsel will be instructed to advise.<\/p>
The status of the specified cases is as follows:<\/p>
(1) Azelle Rodney: Following the publication of the report of Sir Christopher Holland in relation to his inquiry Mr Rodney's death, the IPCC wrote to the Director of Public Prosecutions to ask that the CPS review the case. This review is underway and the CPS is working with the IPCC in order to determine whether any further investigation is required. Once the CPS is satisfied that it has received a full file, it will consider whether charges should be brought.<\/p>
(2) Jimmy Mubenga: prosecutions were announced on 20 March 2014.<\/p>
(3) Christopher Alder: prosecutions took place in 2002 \u2013 all defendants were acquitted.<\/p>
(4) Sean Rigg: The CPS has provided investigative advice to the IPCCin relation to allegations of perjury. A charging decision has not been requested.<\/p>
(5) Habib Ullah: The CPS has received a full file and is considering whether charges should be brought.<\/p>
(6) Ricky Bishop: Mr Bishop died in 2001. The case has not been referred to the CPS within the last 3 years.<\/p>
(7) Anthony Grainger: a prosecution was announced on 16 January 2014.<\/p>

The Treasury Solicitor's Department (TSol), which provides legal services to a number of government departments and bodies, conducted an annual client satisfaction survey in January 2014 The outcome of the survey was reported to the TSol Board and is one of the measures agreed with TSol by HM Treasury.<\/p>
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) are conducting a survey of victims of crime who had received the revised victim communication and liaison scheme which is currently being piloted by three CPS Areas. The survey is still ongoing but will feed into the evaluation of the pilots later this year.<\/p>
There have been no other external customer, user or satisfaction surveys conducted by the Law Officers' Departments during the past 12 months.<\/p>
