Justices Act 1886

The procedures applying in relation to a defendant seeking, at a direction hearing under section 83A, a disclosure obligation direction are stated in the Criminal Practice Rules 1999, chapter 9A.

To the greatest practicable extent, the procedures apply in addition to, and do not limit, the procedures applying under section 83A.

The existence of the procedures mentioned in subsection (1) is not intended to stop a party to a proceeding from writing to, or otherwise communicating information to, another party to resolve issues arising over a disclosure obligation.
