This section applies if a person, other than a visitor, is charged with an indictable offence and the commissioner or the director of public prosecutions (a prosecuting authority) is aware that the person is a relevant person.

If the person is committed by a court for trial for an indictable offence, the prosecuting authority must, within 7 days after the committal, give written notice to the chief executive of the following—

the person’s name;

the court;

particulars of the offence;

the date of the committal;

the court to which the person was committed.

If the person is convicted before a court of an indictable offence, the prosecuting authority must, within 7 days after the conviction, give written notice to the chief executive of the following—

the person’s name;

the court;

particulars of the offence;

the date of the conviction;

the sentence imposed by the court.

If the person is convicted of an indictable offence, and has appealed the conviction, and the appeal is finally decided or has otherwise ended, the prosecuting authority must, within 7 days after the decision or the day the appeal otherwise ends, give written notice to the chief executive of the following—

the person’s name;

particulars of the offence;

the date of the decision or other ending of the appeal;

if the appeal was decided—

the court in which it was decided; and

particulars of the decision.

If the prosecution process ends without the person being convicted of an indictable offence, the prosecuting authority must, within 7 days after the end, give written notice to the chief executive about the following—

the person’s name;

if relevant, the court in which the prosecution process ended;

particulars of the offence;

the date the prosecution process ended.

For subsection (5), a prosecution process ends if—

an indictment is presented against the person and—

a nolle prosequi is entered on the indictment; or

the person is acquitted; or

the prosecution process has otherwise ended.

A reference in this section to a conviction of an indictable offence includes a summary conviction of an indictable offence.
