Western Australian Current Acts Western Australian Current Acts (1) At any time after
a court of summary jurisdiction commits an accused to a superior court on a
charge and before an indictment is lodged that contains the charge, the
accused or the relevant authorised officer may apply to the superior court to
remit the charge to the court of summary jurisdiction.
(2) The superior court
may remit the charge if it is satisfied —
(a) that
the charge was committed to the superior court in error or before proceedings
that should have occurred in the court of summary jurisdiction had been
completed; or
(b) that
for some other good reason the charge should be remitted.
