Supreme Court Rules (Amendment

No 377) 2003

under the

Supreme Court Act 1970

The Supreme Court Rule Committee made the following rules of court under the

Supreme Court Act 1970 on 18 August 2003.

Steven Jupp

Secretary of the Rule Committee

Explanatory note
The object of these Rules is to make amendments consequential on the commencement of the Criminal Procedure Amendment (Justices and Local Courts) Act 2001, the Justices Legislation Repeal and Amendment Act 2001 and the Crimes (Local Courts Appeal and Review) Act 2001. Those Acts, among other things, repeal the Justices Act 1902 and re-enact its provisions in the Criminal Procedure Act 1986, the Local Courts Act 1982 and the Crimes (Local Courts Appeal and Review) Act 2001.

The amendments update references to renumbered, repealed and re-enacted provisions and also replace outdated references to justices, courts of petty sessions and the clerk of a Local Court.

The amendments also repeal an unincorporable amendment made by the Supreme Court

Rules (Amendment No 376) 2003 and make the appropriate incorporable amendment.
