Jury Act 1977

In any criminal proceedings—

each person prosecuted has 3 peremptory challenges without restriction, and

the Crown has 3 peremptory challenges without restriction for each person prosecuted.

If the jury in criminal proceedings is to consist of more than 12 jurors, each person prosecuted and the Crown have one peremptory challenge without restriction, respectively, in addition to the peremptory challenges conferred on them by subsection (1).

Any number of peremptory challenges may be made if the Crown and all the persons prosecuted agree to the challenges.

Any such agreed peremptory challenge may be made even though all the peremptory challenges without restriction of any person prosecuted or the Crown have not been exhausted.
