provides that, in the case of an indictable offence that may be heard and determined summarily, a charge-sheet may include a request for a committal proceeding. It is intended that this would simply involve the informant ticking a box on the charge-sheet. Currently, the registrar lists a matter in either the summary or committal stream based on information from the informant. However, the legislation is silent as to how this initially occurs. The purpose of this change is to provide greater clarity and transparency to the process for determining whether a charge for an indictable offence is likely to be dealt with in the committal stream or the summary stream.
