The Children’s Evidence (Northern Ireland) Order 1995 (Notice of Transfer) Regulations 1996
These regulations provide for the form of notice of transfer under Article 4 of the Children’s Evidence (Northern Ireland) Order 1995. That is the notice which is sent to a magistrates' court before the start of committal proceedings by or on behalf of the Director of Public Prosecutions and which has the effect of transferring the case to the Crown Court. The regulations require copies of the notice to be sent to the defendant, the Crown Court and (if the defendant is in custody) the prison governor.
