sets out what the court may do at a committal hearing. The court may offer a summary hearing or determine an application for a summary hearing in accordance with clause 30 which sets out the procedure for indictable offences which may be heard and determined summarily. Clause 30(7) specifically deals with the admissibility of evidence in a summary proceeding where a committal hearing has commenced before the court grants a summary hearing. The court may hear evidence after granting leave to either cross-examine witnesses on whose evidence the informant intends to rely in the committal proceeding or to call a witness to give oral evidence-in-chief. The clause provides that if the committal hearing proceeds, the court must determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support a conviction. The clause provides the court with a discretion to make any order or give any direction it considers necessary.
