Clause 69

regulates the procedure for joint hearings where a no case submission has been made. The clause applies to a hearing in which 2 or more accused are named on the charge-sheet. Any accused who wishes to make a submission that there is no case to answer must do so after the prosecution case closes. Once the court has ruled on the no case submissions and there are 2 or more accused with charges to be determined, then the accused must indicate how the accused will respond to the prosecution case, as outlined in clause 66.
