provides that when a committal hearing is continued in the absence of an accused (who is a natural person) and they are not present when the evidence for the prosecution is concluded, the court is required to postpone the committal hearing until they are present or, if any other accused is present, postpone the committal hearing in respect of the charge against the absent accused. This clause does not apply, however, if the court makes an order under clause 141(4)(a) for the accused to be discharged.
