requires that, on written request by the accused, the informant must serve a full brief on the accused. An accused may make a written request for a full brief at any time after a charge-sheet is filed, except in cases where a notice to appear has been served. Where a notice to appear has been served and a charge-sheet is filed within 14 days in accordance with clause 22, the informant must have served a preliminary brief on the accused within 7 days of filing a charge-sheet. If the accused requires further disclosure, a written request for a full brief may be made at any time after a summary case conference is held in accordance with clause 54. The notice to appear process is designed to provide preliminary disclosure of the case against the accused at an early stage in the proceeding and an opportunity for the parties to discuss the case at a summary case conference. If a matter does not resolve at a summary case conference, full disclosure is available before an accused proceeds to a contest mention hearing or, if a contest mention hearing is not held, a summary hearing.
