The Criminal Justice Act 1987 (Notice of Transfer) (Amendment) Regulations 1997
These Regulations amend the Criminal Justice Act 1987 (Notice of Transfer) Regulations 1988 concerning the special procedures for the transfer to the Crown Court of certain cases involving serious or complex fraud. They make changes to the form of notice of transfer and the form of notice to the defendant to take account of the abolition of witness orders, following the amendments to the general nature of committal proceedings, and of the incorporation into the general arrangements for compulsory disclosure by accused persons of particulars of any alibi defence.
