This episode we’ll start looking at Victorian Criminal Procedure and the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Act. We start with commencing criminal proceedings, moving onto summary procedure, and then wrap up with the appeals available from decisions of the Magistrates’ Court. As always, we’re helped out by the discussion published by the Judicial College of Victoria, starting here for summary procedure, and here for appeals. In out next episode, we’ll move onto committal procedure, and trials on indictment.
