Welcome to the Criminal Procedure Act 2009


The Criminal Procedure Act 2009 has been in operation for a few years now. While there continues to be interpretation and amendment of its provisions, the transition from the old legislation to the new has successfully been made, and a blog exclusively dedicated to the Act is no longer necessary.

If you're looking for a frequently updated blog on general legal matters in Victoria, have a look at Quis Custodes Ipsos Custodes? by the same authors.

81. Non-appearance of accused charged with indictable offence

If an accused does not appear in answer to a summons to answer to a charge for an indictable offence which has been served in accordance with this Act, the Magistrates' Court may issue a warrant to arrest the accused.

Notes

1. Section 25 sets out the consequences of failing to appear in answer to a notice to appear.

2. Section 328 sets out who may appear on behalf of an accused.
