Criminal jurisdiction of registrars
25 Criminal jurisdiction of registrars
In this rule —
registrar does not include a deputy registrar.
In a criminal case, the jurisdiction conferred by this rule is in addition to the jurisdiction conferred by others of these rules.
A registrar has jurisdiction to deal with an application made under the CPA for an adjournment and to perform the court’s functions under the CPA section 75.
A registrar has jurisdiction to grant or adjourn, but not to refuse, an application made under the CPA section 71 if —
it is made in the circumstances described in the CPA section 72(1) or (2); and
it is not made by an accused who is in custody and who seeks to be released on bail until the hearing at which the charge is to be dealt with again.
If an application made under the CPA section 71(1) or (2) includes an application made under the CPA section 71(3), a registrar may only grant the application made under the CPA section 71(3) if the registrar grants the application made under the CPA section 71(1) or (2).
