Original Note:
NNN because the DPP has power under section 6(2) POA 1985 to take over private prosecutions, either to continue the prosecution or to discontinue or stop it. Therefore, the fact that it was a private prosecution doesn't not prevent the DPP from intervening. https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/private-prosecutions#:~:text=the%20Director%20of%20Public%20Prosecutions,before%20the%20commencement%20of%20proceedings.
