116Transmission of documents to Supreme Court upon committal

116 Transmission of documents to Supreme Court upon committal for trial (1) Whenever a defendant is committed for trial, the Court must deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Director of Public Prosecutions a copy of the committal brief, a copy, certified by the relevant registrar to be a true copy, of a transcript of the record or of the record, as the case requires, of the depositions of any witnesses who gave oral evidence at the preliminary examination and all bail undertakings and conditions of bail entered into. (2) The Director of Public Prosecutions must deliver these documents to the proper officer of the Supreme Court, before or at the opening of the Supreme Court, on the first day of the sitting, or at such other time as the Supreme Court Judge who is to preside at the trial order and appoints. (3) Whilst the documents are in the custody of the Director of Public Prosecutions, he shall have and be subject to the same duties and liabilities with respect to the several documents upon a certiorari directed to him, or upon a rule or order directed to him in lieu of that writ, as the Court would have had, and been subject to, if the documents had not been transmitted to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
