118CApplication to make summons ineffective1

If a witness summons issued under Article 118A is directed to a person who—

a

applies to the magistrates' court,

b

satisfies the court that he was not served with notice of the application to issue the summons and that he was neither present nor represented at the hearing of the application, and

c

satisfies the court that he cannot give any evidence likely to be material evidence or, as the case may be, produce any document or thing likely to be material evidence,

the court may direct that the summons shall be of no effect.

2

For the purposes of paragraph (1) it is immaterial—

a

whether or not magistrates' courts rules require the person to be served with notice of the application to issue the summons;

b

whether or not magistrates' courts rules enable the person to be present or represented at the hearing of the application.

3

In paragraph (1)(b) “served” means—

a

served in accordance with magistrates' courts rules, in a case where such rules require the person to be served with notice of the application to issue the summons;

b

served in such way as appears reasonable to the magistrates' court, in any other case.

4

The magistrates' court may refuse to make a direction under this Article if any requirement relating to the application under this Article is not fulfilled.

5

An application under this Article must be made in accordance with magistrates' courts rules.

6

Magistrates' courts rules may, in such cases as the rules may specify, require the service of notice of an application under this Article on the person on whose application the witness summons was issued.

7

Magistrates' courts rules may, in such cases as the rules may specify, require that where—

a

a person applying under this Article can produce a particular document or thing, but

b

he seeks to satisfy the court that the document or thing is not likely to be material evidence,

he must arrange for the document or thing to be available at the hearing of the application.

8

Where a direction is made under this Article that a witness summons shall be of no effect, the person on whose application the summons was issued may be ordered to pay the whole or any part of the costs of the application under this Article.
