Practice question
A respondent points to a five-year prescribed penalty and argues no regular investigation is required in any imaginable case, while the complainant says every offense still uses the old Rule112 threshold. Which is best?
- Both blanket positions are wrong; apply DC15 and DC28, including the RTC proviso and any special rule
- The respondent’s universal statement is necessarily correct
- The complainant’s old universal rule is necessarily correct
- The actual sentence after conviction alone determines the track
- The parties may freely choose whichever track yields conviction
