How Do You Have A Committal Hearing?

An experienced criminal lawyer will recognize whether or not it is desirable to run a committal hearing, and make application for the cross examination of witnesses on specific areas of cross examination. Depending on which section of the legislation applies, the defence must establish that there are either special reasons or substantial reasons why in the interests of justice a witness should be cross examined.

Deciding whether or not to apply for a committal hearing is something that should be determined by a criminal law specialist, preferably an accredited specialist in criminal law. Failure to appreciate the potential benefits of a committal hearing and failure to make proper application can severely prejudice an accused person.

If you have a matter that may go to trial – seek the expert assistance of our specialist criminal lawyers immediately.
