Article 100

The Court shall not commence a trial and the accused shall not be called upon to plead to the charge of an offence, unless the Court is satisfied that:

the accused knows that he is entitled before trial to disclosure of the prosecution case;

the accused has been given a copy of the charge or charges against him in that prosecution; and

disclosure of the prosecution case has been made with adequate time to prepare for trial.

The accused is entitled, from the prosecutor:

to receive a copy of any relevant statement made by him;

to inspect anything that the prosecutor proposes to introduce as an exhibit;

to receive a copy of any relevant statement made by any person and recorded in writing or, in the absence of a statement, a written summary of the information provided by that person;

to inspect the electronic recording of any relevant statement made by a person whom the prosecutor proposes to call as a witness;

to receive, where his request demonstrates the relevance of such information, a copy of the criminal record of any alleged victim or proposed witness;

to receive, where known to the police officer or prosecutor in charge of the investigation, and not protected from disclosure by law, the name and address of any other person who could be called as a witness or other details enabling that person to be identified; and

to receive any other relevant information that might assist the accused in the preparation of his defenses, whether the prosecutor intends to use such information as evidence at trial or not.
