Criminal Case Flow Management Rules - Elections & Arraignment Hearings
November, 2007
In Nov 2001 BCASVACP produced an overview paper outlining the changes in criminal court proceedings in BC regarding the development of the Criminal Caseflow Management Rules. Chief Judge Carol Baird Ellan has issued two amendments to the 'Rules'. One pertains to a new rule that makes it not necessary in summary convictions for an arraignment hearing if both sides have filed their arraignment reports. The other amendment sets aside automatic requirements for a preliminary hearing.
