(c)dealing with the prosecution and defence fairly;
(d)recognising the rights of a defendant, particularly those under Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights;
(e)respecting the interests of witnesses, victims and lay members (if any) and keeping them informed of the progress of the case;
(f)dealing with the case efficiently and expeditiously;
(g)ensuring that appropriate information is available to a judge advocate or the court when either custody before or after charge or sentence are considered; and
(h)dealing with the case in ways that take into account—
(i)the gravity of the offence alleged;
(ii)the complexity of what is in issue;
(iii)the severity of the consequences for the defendant and others affected;
