The DCS Multi-Defendant solution was rolled out to all Crown Courts between July and September.

 

This means that for new cases there will be single file in multi-defendant cases with the ability to merge existing individual files or separate joint files.  The solution allows a party uploading a document to determine who can see it.  For example a defendant uploading a Defence Statement can decide whether other defendants can see it or not.
