72Preliminary diet: notice

(1)Subject to subsections (4) and (5) below, where a party to a case which is to be tried in the High Court within the appropriate period gives written notice to the court and to the other parties—

(a)that he intends to raise—

(i)a matter relating to the competency or relevancy of the indictment; or

(ii)an objection to the validity of the citation against him, on the ground of any discrepancy between the record copy of the indictment and the copy served on him, or on account of any error or deficiency in such service copy or in the notice of citation;

(b)that he intends—

(i)to submit a plea in bar of trial;

(ii)to apply for separation or conjunction of charges or trials;

(iii)to raise a preliminary objection under section 255 of this Act; or

(iv)to make an application under section 278(2) of this Act;

(c)that there are documents the truth of the contents of which ought to be admitted, or that there is any other matter which in his view ought to be agreed;

(d)that there is some point, as regards any matter not mentioned in paragraph (a) to (c) above, which could in his opinion be resolved with advantage before the trial and that he therefore applies for a diet to be held before the trial diet,

the court shall in a case to which paragraph (a) above applies, and in any other case may, order that there be a diet before the trial diet, and a diet ordered under this subsection is in this Act referred to as a “preliminary diet”.

(2)A party giving notice under subsection (1) above shall specify in the notice the matter or, as the case may be, the grounds of submission or the point to which the notice relates.

(3)The fact that a preliminary diet has been ordered on a particular notice under subsection (1) above shall not preclude the court’s consideration at that diet of any other such notice as is mentioned in that subsection, which has been intimated to the court and to the other parties at least 24 hours before that diet.

(4)Subject to subsection (5) below, the court may on ordering a preliminary diet postpone the trial diet for a period not exceeding 21 days; and any such postponement (including postponement for a period which by virtue of the said subsection (5) exceeds 21 days) shall not count towards any time limit applying in respect of the case.

(5)Any period mentioned in subsection (4) above may be extended by the High Court in respect of the case.

(6)In subsection (1) above, “appropriate period” means as regards notice—

(a)under paragraph (a) of that subsection, the period of 15 clear days after service of the indictment;

(b)under paragraph (b) of that subsection, the period from service of the indictment to 10 clear days before the trial diet; and

(c)under paragraph (c) or (d) of that subsection, the period from service of the indictment to the trial diet.
