Pending charges, offender may request court to deal with
32 Pending charges, offender may request court to deal with
An offender who is to be sentenced by a superior court for an offence (in this Division referred to as the original offence) may request the court to also deal with any pending charges against him or her.
On such a request being made, a list of pending charges against the offender is to be prepared and served in accordance with rules of court.
The list must not include any indictable offence that the superior court would not have jurisdiction to deal with, even with the consent or at the election of the offender or the prosecutor.
For the purposes of this section a superior court is to be taken to have jurisdiction to deal with simple offences.
