requires the accused to serve on the prosecution and file in court a written response to the summary of the prosecution opening and notice of pre-trial admissions, filed and served under clause 182, at least 14 days before the trial is listed to commence. The response to the summary of the prosecution opening must identify the acts, facts, matters and circumstances with which the accused takes issue and the reasons why. The response to the notice of pre-trial admissions must indicate what evidence (as set out in the notice of pre-trial admissions) is agreed to be admitted as evidence without further proof and what evidence is in issue and, if the accused takes issue, the reasons why this is the case. The accused is not required to state the identity of any witness (other than an expert witness under clause 189) to be called by the accused or whether the accused will give evidence.
