sch.1-sec-oc.3 Purpose of proceedings
Purpose of proceedings
This form has been given to you because you are facing criminal charges in a committal proceeding. A committal proceeding is when a Magistrate decides if the prosecution has enough evidence for your case to go to trial before a jury in another court.
All the evidence against you has now been presented by the prosecution.
A Magistrate now has to decide if your case should go to trial or should not go ahead. The Magistrate will decide this by looking at all the evidence heard in court and in witness statements.
