## Notice

For Transparency purposes. The Service Prosecuting Authority (SPA) is the principal prosecuting authority within the Service Justice System and is responsible for the consideration and, where necessary, prosecution of service offences before the Service Courts, which include, the Court Martial, the Court Martial Appeal Court, the Service Civilian Court and the Summary Appeal Court. This includes responsibility for providing a witness support service at each of the permanent or ad hoc Military Court Centres (MCCs). The provision of a witness support service enables witnesses and victims to deal with the experience of attending court and giving evidence.
