111A  Proceedings by way of dealing with a charge

 (1) A summary authority may, if he or she thinks it desirable to do so, hear evidence in relation to a charge for the purpose of determining, under section 109 or 110, the manner in which the charge is to be dealt with, but, if he or she does so, nothing in this subsection precludes him or her from trying the charge.

Note: A summary authority is not bound by the rules of evidence and may hear any evidence that it considers to be of assistance and relevance in proceedings for the purpose referred to in this subsection: see section 146A.

 (2) The regulations may make provision for and in relation to the admissibility, in proceedings before a service tribunal (including proceedings by way of trying a charge), of evidence adduced in proceedings before a summary authority for the purpose referred to in subsection (1).
