Case was transferred and a new office has jurisdiction 2020
A common scenario!
When a case is transferred to a new office, it means that the jurisdiction (or authority) over the case has been transferred from one office to another. This can happen for various reasons, such as:
- Reorganization: The case was originally handled by one office, but due to reorganization or restructuring, the jurisdiction was transferred to a new office.
- Change in jurisdiction: The case may have been originally filed in one jurisdiction, but the jurisdiction was later changed to another office due to changes in the law, court rules, or other factors.
- Conflict of interest: In some cases, a conflict of interest may arise, and the original office may need to transfer the case to a new office to ensure a fair and impartial investigation or prosecution.
- Workload management: The original office may have too many cases to handle, and the jurisdiction is transferred to a new office to ensure that cases are properly managed and prosecuted.
When a case is transferred, the new office will typically take over the investigation, prosecution, or other responsibilities related to the case. The new office may also review the case file and decide whether to continue or dismiss the case.
