# The Magistrates’ Courts (Notice of Transfer) (Children’s Evidence) (Amendment) Rules 1997, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
These Rules amend the Magistrates’ Courts (Notice of Transfer) (Children’s Evidence) Rules 1992 (“the 1992 Rules”) to take account of changes made in the procedures at committal proceedings by the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996 and the abolition of witness orders by that Act. They remove references in the 1992 Rules to witnesses’ appearance at such proceedings and to the court’s making witness orders.
