The Justice before whom a preliminary inquiry is to be held may order, on application of the prosecutor or the accused or on the Justice’s own motion, that a hearing be held, within the period fixed by rules of court made under section 482 or 482.1, or, if there are no such rules, by the Justice, to assist the parties to identify the issues and witnesses on which evidence will be given at the inquiry and to encourage the parties to consider any other matters that would promote a fair and expeditious inquiry.
The above is the an excerpt of Patrick J Ducharme's book, Canadian Criminal Procedure, available at Amazon or in bulk through MedicaLegal Publishing along with Criminal Trial Strategies.
