Criminal Justice (Illicit Traffic by Sea) Bill 2000: Committee and Remaining Stages.
When the arrested person is brought before the High Court, it has to be satisfied that the various statutory matters are met. The question of the summary evidence is something that is transmitted to the flag state. That is the first opportunity there. When the person is brought before the High Court, that is the first time they are before a court. It would be unusual in criminal procedure on a first visitation to the court to require the prosecutor to furnish that amount of detail with regard to evidence.
