The purposes of a committal proceeding are—
(a) to determine whether a charge for an offence is appropriate to be heard and determined summarily;
(b) to determine whether there is evidence of sufficient weight to support a conviction for the offence charged;
(c) to determine how the accused proposes to plead to the charge;
(d) to ensure a fair trial, if the matter proceeds to trial, by—
(i) ensuring that the prosecution case against the accused is adequately disclosed in the form of depositions;
(ii) enabling the accused to hear or read the evidence against the accused and to cross-examine prosecution witnesses;
(iii) enabling the accused to put forward a case at an early stage if the accused wishes to do so;
(iv) enabling the accused to adequately prepare and present a case;
(v) enabling the issues in contention to be adequately defined.
