Should I summarise the charge in my own words?

Keep the exact document and create any summary separately.

What if I do not understand the notice?

Flag the wording and deadline for urgent local legal review rather than guessing.

Should police interview material be uploaded?

Only material lawfully available to you, handled securely.

What if several documents have different dates?

Record each issue, receipt, effective and hearing date separately.
