Service of advance informationU.K.

This section has no associated Explanatory Memorandum

30.—(1) Where a charge is allocated for Service Civilian Court trial, the Director must, as soon as is practicable—

(a)serve advance information in relation to all defendants on the court administration officer; and

(b)serve advance information in relation to each defendant on—

(i)that defendant; and

(ii)that defendant's legal representative (if any).

(2) “Advance information”, in relation to any defendant, means—

(a)copies of the statements of those witnesses on whom the Director intends to rely against the defendant;

(b)a list of all exhibits which the Director intends to adduce in evidence against the defendant, and a statement of where any non-documentary exhibits are held; and

(c)a transcript of any sound recording of an interview with the defendant.

(3) Where, after the Director has served advance information on a defendant, he intends to adduce against the defendant any evidence not included in the advance information, he must as soon as is practicable serve on the defendant and the court administration officer such documents as he would have been required to include in the advance information if he had had that intention at the time when he served advance information.

(4) Where paragraph (3) applies in the course of trial proceedings, the reference in that paragraph to the court administration officer is to be read as a reference to the court.

(5) Where the Director no longer intends to call a witness whose statement he has served under this rule, he must as soon as is practicable give notice of that fact to every defendant.
