MG18 OFFENCES TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION (TIC)
The purpose of this form is:
To list those other offences that the defendant has agreed to have taken into consideration (TIC) when appearing at court for other offence(s) charged.
Where offences to be TIC carry driving licence endorsement and a disqualification they may only be TIC where one or more of the offences for which the defendant is convicted is also endorsable or may lead to disqualification. See Note 2.
Where a compensation form MG19 has been sent to the victim, this fact should be recorded on the MG18 to ensure that the prosecutor is aware that compensation is required.
Manual of Guidance 2011 - Section 3
To avoid any potential later claim by the defendant that TICs may have been added without their knowledge, officers should rule a clear line after the last TIC entry on each MG18, and get the defendant to sign the form to show they have agreed to their inclusion. This should be done on all MG18 sheets in the case. The defendant having signed the MG18, should be supplied with a copy.
Offences should be listed in chronological order.
