PUBLIC PROSECUTIONS ACT 1994 - SECT 45B

Guidelines—regarding special decisions

In establishing guidelines under section 45A(1)(b) , the Director's Committee must have regard to the need to ensure that the decision-making process is not unnecessarily protracted in cases where—

        (a)     because of a change in circumstances since the committal proceeding there is not any reasonable prospect of conviction on the charge or all the charges on which a person was committed for trial; and

        (b)     in the particular circumstances only one decision could reasonably be made in relation to the charge or all the charges on which a person was committed for trial; or

        (c)     the nature and gravity of the charge or all the charges on which a person was committed for trial was not such as to warrant a decision in relation to it or them being treated as a special decision.
