Message: [QUOTE="Jason Simmons, post: 2655566, member: 8275"] Depends. Sometimes a Notice to Appear (NTA) has the full charge written on it. Sometimes it only has time, date (or dates), place and the short title of the offence or offences, ie: 1x Supply Dangerous Drug (DD) or 4x Supply DD or whatever the charges may be. In field issued NTA's there isn't sufficient room to write out most charges in full. The first time many defendants know the full particulars of the charge, let alone the summary of the facts listed within the QP9 is when the prosecutor is reading them out in front of court. In this particular case, according to media reports, the defence solicitors have not yet received the QP9. Most frequently that is because they aren't actually done. They only HAVE to be at court on the appearance date the defendant was given. There is no requirement to disclose anything to defence prior to that appearance date. [/QUOTE]
