WHAT ARE INDICTABLE OFFENCES?
Indictable offences typically are offences which are more objectively serious criminal offences (when compared with summary offences). These offences carry a maximum sentence that exceeds two years’ imprisonment.
In 2018, significant amendments were made to the Criminal Procedure Act 1986 (NSW). The result of those amendments is that the processes involved in Committing Indictable Offences has been fundamentally changed.
Section 55 of the Criminal Procedure Act 1986 (NSW) and Part 2A of the Criminal Procedure Regulations 2017 (NSW) details, in part, a new case management process (which is known colloquially amongst legal practitioners as the ‘EAGP’).
The view at DAD Legal is the new EAPG Regime provides an exciting and unprecedented opportunity to negotiate better outcomes for our clients.
