1.-(1) These Rules may be cited as the Crown Court (Amendment) Rules 1997 and shall, subject to paragraph (2) below, come into force on 1st April 1997.
(2) These Rules shall have effect in the same way as Schedules 1 and 2 to the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996(2) have effect.
2. The Crown Court Rules 1982(3) shall be amended by substituting for rule 22 the following-
"22. Any objection under paragraph 1(3)(c) or paragraph 2(3)(c) of Schedule 2 to the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996(4) to the reading out at the trial of a statement or deposition without further evidence shall be made in writing to the prosecutor and the Crown Court within 14 days of the accused being committed for trial unless the court at its discretion permits such an objection to be made outside that period.".

(This note is not part of the Rules)
These Rules amend the Crown Court Rules 1982 to take account of the changes in procedure at committal proceedings effected by the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996. They indicate how and when a person who is committed for trial at the Crown Court is to exercise his right to object to a statement or deposition being read out at the trial without oral evidence being given by the person who made the statement or deposition.
