Rule 48.7 Postponement of enquiryI1
England and Wales
This rule applies where the Court of Appeal or the Crown Court postpones the enquiry.
Under the superintendence of the court the court officer must prepare a written statement containing such particulars of the conduct in question as to make clear what the respondent appears to have done.
The court officer must serve on the respondent—
that written statement;
such other evidence, if any, of the conduct which the court will consider at the enquiry;
notice of where and when the postponed enquiry will take place;
a reminder that the court can impose imprisonment, or a fine, or both, for contempt of court; and
a warning that if the respondent fails to attend the enquiry—
the enquiry may take place in the respondent’s absence, and
the respondent may be arrested and punished for failing to attend.
