MAGISTRATES’ COURTS;PROCEDURE

These Rules amend the Magistrates’ Courts (Forms) Rules 1981 (“the 1981 Forms Rules”) to take account of the changes effected by the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996 (“the 1996 Act”) in magistrates’ courts’ procedures including, in particular those in respect of committal for trial in the Crown Court (“committal proceedings”). These Rules amend, omit or substitute certain forms used in relation to committal proceedings as a consequence of those changes. Unless otherwise indicated any reference in this note to a rule is a reference to a rule in these Rules, and any reference to a form is a reference to a form in the 1981 Forms Rules.
