Criminal Rules Sub-Committee

Background

In 2013, the Rules Committee approved the creation of a new sub-committee known as the Criminal Rules Sub-Committee. The Criminal Rules Sub‑Committee was formed to assist the Rules Committee following the enactment of the Criminal Procedure Act 2011.

The Criminal Rules Sub-Committee had a hiatus in which it was disbanded, from 2015 to 2023.

The Criminal Rules Sub-Committee was reformed in mid 2023 to assist the Rules Committee with all matters involving the Criminal Procedure Rules 2012.

General Suggestions Welcome

If you have any feedback on the Criminal Procedure Rules 2012 or practices relating to the Rules, please contact the Clerk to the Criminal Rules Sub-Committee with any suggestions for reform.  Suggestions are triaged by the Sub-Committee Chair and then referred to the full Sub-Committee for discussion at the first available opportunity.

Criminal Rules Sub-Committee Minutes

Minutes are posted on the website once they have been approved as an accurate record by the Sub-Committee or upon the Chair's direction.
