(1) If a court of
summary jurisdiction commits an accused to a superior court for sentence or
trial on an indictable charge, whether or not it has convicted the accused of
the charge, the court must record on the prosecution notice —
(a) the
accused’s plea before the court; and
(b) if
the court convicted the accused, the fact that it did so; and
(c)
whether the court has ordered a pre-sentence report in respect of the accused;
and
(d) the
date of the committal.
(2) A copy of a
prosecution notice containing the matters recorded under subsection (1) sent
to a superior court is, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, evidence
of its contents and of any matter recorded on it in under subsection (1).
