EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which extend to England and Wales only, prescribe the relevant period for the purposes of section 6C of the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996 (c. 25) (“the Act”). That period is the period within which the accused in criminal proceedings must give notice of his intention to call any person, other than him or herself, as a witness at trial.
Regulation 2 provides for the “relevant period” to begin on the day the prosecutor complies, or purports to comply, with section 3 of the Act (initial duty of prosecutor to disclose) and to expire 14 days from that day, subject to regulations 3 and 4.
Regulation 3 provides for the extension of the relevant period by the court, on application by the accused, if the court is satisfied that the accused could not reasonably have given notification within the relevant period. There is no limit on the number of days by which the relevant period may be extended or the number of applications for extensions that may be made.
Regulation 4 provides for any relevant period that ends on specified days such as weekends and bank holidays to be treated as expiring on the next day that is not one of those specified days.
