sets out when a preliminary brief is to be served on the accused by the informant. The preliminary brief must be served either—
as required by clause 24, where a notice appear has been served and a charge-sheet has been filed; or
on written request by the accused.
If the accused makes a written request, the informant must serve the preliminary brief within 14 days of receiving the request. The clause also gives the informant an option to serve a preliminary brief at any time. This is relevant to cases where an informant is not required to comply with clause 24 or a written request by the accused.
