provides that an order under the Bill can be made on application by either party or by the court's own motion. Clause 332 requires a person who has the legal custody of an accused in detention to cause the accused to be brought to and from court whenever necessary so that the accused may be tried, sentenced or otherwise dealt with according to law. Under subclause (2), if a court considers it in the interests of justice that an accused in detention should be present in court, otherwise than for trial, hearing or sentence, the court may order that the accused be brought before the court. Clause 3 defines in detention. Clause 333 gives the Magistrates' Court the power to return an accused to a youth justice centre instead of remanding them in custody. Clause 334 deals with proceedings against bodies corporate and particularly the role of a representative of a corporation in criminal proceedings. Clause 3 defines a corporate accused as an accused that is a body corporate. A representative of a body corporate is defined as a person duly appointed by the body corporate to represent it for the purpose of doing any act or thing which this clause authorises the representative to do. A statement in writing by a manager of the body corporate to the effect that the person named in the statement has been appointed as the representative of the body corporate for the purposes of this clause is admissible and amounts to presumptive proof of its contents. Under subclause (4), a representative is allowed to do any act or thing that a natural person may do in a criminal proceeding other than certain specified acts which must be expressly authorised. If a representative appears in a proceeding against a body corporate for an offence and a provision of this Bill requires something to be done in the presence of the accused, or to be said to the accused, it is sufficient if that thing is done in the presence of the representative or said to the representative. Clause 335 prohibits a court from hearing and determining a proceeding without an interpreter if the accused is charged with an offence punishable by imprisonment and does not have a knowledge of English sufficient to enable the person to understand, or participate in, the proceeding. Clause 336 allows parties to criminal proceedings to apply for the issue of a subpoena in accordance with the rules of court or a witness summons in accordance with the Magistrates' Court Act 1989, as the case requires.
