EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Act of Adjournal)
This Act of Adjournal amends the appendix of the Criminal Procedure Rules 1996 (“the 1996 Rules”) to insert revised solemn witness citation forms.
Paragraph 2 substitutes a new Form 8.2-D and Form 8.2-F. Both of these forms have been revised to contain more accessible language and explain what steps a witness must take if they are unwell on the day of trial or if they are concerned about attending court.
