Review of the Criminal Procedure Act 1986

The Attorney General is reviewing Division 3, Part 3 of Chapter 3 of the Criminal Procedure Act 1986.

The aim of the review is to determine whether the Division has been effective in reducing delays in criminal proceedings prosecuted on indictment, and the cost impacts of the procedures. The Division was inserted in 2010 and made provision in relation to the pre-trial management of cases.

A copy of the Act can be accessed at the NSW legislation website.

The NSW Department of Attorney General and Justice invited interested individuals and organisations to make written submissions to the review. Submissions are now closed.
