This section applies in the following circumstances:

if the Magistrates Court commits an accused person for trial or sentencing to the Supreme Court under any of the following provisions of the Magistrates Court Act 1930:

section 88B (Court may waive committal proceedings);

section 90A (7) (Plea of guilty at committal hearing);

section 92A (1) (Committal for sentence for indictable offence tried summarily);

section 94 (1) (b) (Discharge or committal for trial);

section 291G (2) (Childrens Court may send cases to Supreme Court for sentencing);

The court must deal with any back-up or related offence with which the accused person has been charged if the court considers that it is in the interests of justice.

The court may deal with a back-up or related offence with which an accused person has been charged even though it is not doing so in relation to a back-up or related offence with which another accused person in the same proceedings is charged.
