1 Order by examining justices for attendance of witness at court of trial.E+W

(a)any witness order to be made by the court in his case shall be a conditional order requiring him to attend the trial if notice in that behalf is given to him and not otherwise; and
(b)if a witness order other than a conditional order has previously been made by the court in his case, the court shall direct that that order be treated as a conditional order.
(3)A magistrates’ court on committing any person for trial shall inform him of his right to require the attendance at the trial of any witness in respect of whom a conditional witness order, or an order treated as a conditional witness order, has been made, and of the steps he must take for the purpose of enforcing the attendance.
