The 29th of June 2009 will see significant changes to the criminal justice process come in to force. The Criminal Disclosure Act 2008 and the Summary Proceedings Amendment Act (No 2) 2008 were split from the wide ranging Criminal Procedure Bill, which amended a number of criminal law statutes with the objectives of maximising efficiency and fairness in the Criminal Justice system. Many experienced practitioners have voiced the opinion that, at least as far as the new committal procedure is concerned, the exact opposite will be achieved. Whether this is so remains to be seen. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Whatever one feels about it however, one thing is certain, the Summary Proceedings Amendment Act has been passed and the new regime is very soon to be upon us.

The purpose of this seminar is to bring practitioners thoroughly up to speed with the changes brought about by these two Acts and to provide guidance on how things are intended to work in practise. It is hoped that this booklet will provide a valuable guide to the incoming regime and be a valuable resource for the future. To this end the booklet contains a raft of useful information, including legislation, forms, legal aid information and of course in depth analysis of the key provisions of the respective Acts.
