The Criminal Procedure Rules 2005
These Rules govern the practice and procedure to be followed in the criminal courts. They represent the first step in the creation of a new, consolidated criminal procedural code. Part 1 contains the overriding objective of the Rules. Part 2 contains provisions for understanding and applying the Rules. Part 3 contains new rules to facilitate the management of criminal cases by the court in accordance with the overriding objective. The main body of the Rules (Parts 4 to 78) are a consolidation of the existing rules of court, which are for the time being re-enacted without any substantial changes as part of the Criminal Procedure Rules.
