Court Procedures Rules 2006

This rule applies if—

a person charged with an indictable offence is committed to the Supreme Court for trial; and

a solicitor (the original solicitor) is the solicitor on the record in relation to the person for the proceeding in the Supreme Court; and

the original solicitor stops acting for the accused person.

The original solicitor must, as soon as practicable after the solicitor stops acting, give any depositions received by the original solicitor under the Magistrates Court Act 1930, section 108 (Accused person may obtain copies of depositions etc) to—

if another solicitor has served a notice under rule 4000B on the original solicitor—the other solicitor; or

if the original solicitor has not been served with a notice under rule 4000B—the accused person.
