Article 4

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

Where no application to which rule 3 applies is made in accordance with paragraph (2) of that rule, the court shall consider whether the application under section 17(4) may be determined without a hearing and may so determine it if the court thinks fit.

(2)

Where an application to which rule 2 applies is determined without a hearing the appropriate officer of the court shall give notice in writing to the person who made the application and to the prosecutor of any order made under section 17(4) or, as the case may be, that no such order has been made.
