The Indictments (Procedure) (Amendment) Rules 1997
These Rules make consequential amendments to the Indictments (Procedure) Rules 1971 as a result of the changes to procedure at committal proceedings effected by amendments to the Magistrates' Courts Act 1980 made by the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996. Rules 2, 9 and 11 of the 1971 Rules are amended to replace the references to “depositions” (which now have a more specific meaning as a result of the changes) with the term “committal documents”.
