Information for Defendant

The list on the back of this document gives particulars of 5 other *offence/*offences which you are believed to have committed.
If you are convicted of *the charge/*any of the charges mentioned above and before sentence is passed, you may:

(a) if:

(i) the court decides; and

(ii) the prosecution agrees;

admit all or any of the offences specified on the back of this document; and

If you are convicted and the court does take any of the offences that you have admitted into account, the maximum sentence that may be passed upon you for *the offence/*any offence of which you have been convicted will still be the maximum penalty that the court could have imposed on you for the offence if no other offence had been taken into account.

No proceedings may be taken or continued against you for an offence taken into account by the court in respect of a conviction unless the conviction in respect of which the offence has been taken into account has been quashed or set aside.
If, in the circumstances mentioned in paragraph 5:

(a) proceedings are taken or continued against you for an offence that you have admitted; or

(b) if the court does not for any reason take anyone or more of the offences that you have admitted into account;

your admission cannot be used as evidence against you in any proceedings taken or continued for the offence about which the admission was made or for any other offence listed on the back of this document.
