389 Supreme Court may hear and determine summarily-triable offence with indictable offence (1) When hearing and determining a charge against a person on indictment, the Supreme Court may also, if it considers appropriate, hear and determine summarily any charge of a summarily-triable offence that has been laid against the person. (2) However, the Supreme Court must not hear and determine the charge of the summarily-triable offence unless the charge has been transmitted to a Registrar of the Supreme Court under section 390. (3) Subject to this section, the practice and procedure of the Supreme Court and the provisions of this Code relating to taking a plea on an indictment apply in relation to the taking of a plea to the charge of the summarily-triable offence. (4) On finding the accused person guilty of the summarily-triable offence, the Supreme Court may make any orders in relation to the finding that the Local Court could have made, but may not impose a penalty in excess of the penalty that the court of summary jurisdiction could have imposed. (5) Within 30 days after the final determination of the charge of the summarily-triable offence, a Registrar of the Supreme Court must notify the result of the determination to a registrar of the Local Court and no further appearance is required in that court by any party to the proceeding.
