CRIMINAL PROCEDURE ACT 2009 - SECT 180

Accused may be arraigned at a directions hearing

    (1)     The accused may be arraigned at a directions hearing, if an indictment has been filed against the accused.

Notes

1     Section 215 sets out how and when arraignment occurs.

2     Arraignment at a directions hearing does not commence a trial: see section 210.

    (2)     Despite subsection (1), if the accused pleads not guilty to one or more charges in the indictment and indicates an intention to plead not guilty to one or more remaining charges, it is not necessary for those remaining charges to be read to the accused and the accused must be taken to have pleaded not guilty to those charges.
