provides that the accused can be served with a copy of their criminal record if the accused is charged with a summary offence and it is alleged that the accused has previous convictions. The contents of the criminal record are set out in clause 77. If the Magistrates' Court finds the accused guilty in their absence and is satisfied that they were served with a copy of their criminal record at least 14 days before the summary hearing, then the record is admissible only for sentencing purposes and is evidence of the previous convictions and associated particulars.
