Commentary on Sections Schedule 1: Trials on indictment without a jury: consequential amendments
125.This Schedule makes amendments consequential on the creation of the new system of non-jury trial created by the Act (see sections 1 to 9). In particular, it amends section 14A(1) of the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996 in order to provide a procedure to apply for the consideration of disclosure issues in relation to trials without a jury. Paragraph 3 of the Schedule provides that the non-jury trial provisions contained in Part 7 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 are not to apply if the new procedures for non-jury trial in this Act are being used.
