The Crown Court (Amendment) Rules 1997
These Rules amend the Crown Court Rules 1982 to take account of the changes in procedure at committal proceedings effected by the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996. They indicate how and when a person who is committed for trial at the Crown Court is to exercise his right to object to a statement or deposition being read out at the trial without oral evidence being given by the person who made the statement or deposition.
