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

(1)

At any time before the beginning of the hearing the supervising officer may direct that the case be withdrawn, unless the chief officer has a duty to proceed under section 75(7) or 76(2) or (5) of the 1996 Act.

(2)

Where a case is withdrawn it shall be treated as if the supervising officer had decided not to refer it to a hearing.
