Clause 207 Court may give sentence indication

At any time after the indictment is filed, the court may indicate that, if the accused pleads guilty to the charge on the indictment at that time or another charge, the court would or would not (as the case may be) be likely to impose on the accused a sentence of imprisonment that commences immediately.

Section 18 of the Supreme Court Act 1986 and section 80 of the County Court Act 1958 enable the court to close a proceeding to the public.
