Why Have A Committal Hearing?

To afford the accused person fairness at their trial by exploring evidence in certain areas in a local court hearing prior to a trial. A committal hearing might also result in the accused person being discharged because the evidence is incapable of satisfying a properly instructed jury. Another example of a worthwhile committal hearing is where as a result of the evidence obtained it leads to a ‘no bill’ application being made so that the charges are withdrawn prior to trial.
