Summary
Section 10 of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999 enables a court, upon a plea or finding of guilt, to order the dismissal of charges without proceeding to record a conviction.
The order can be made with or without conditions.
This Section is one of the most discussed sections in the administration of criminal justice – it can be helpful but when should it be applied and when should it not be applied ?
In this video podcast, the legal and judicial perspective will be provided on Section 10:
- The purpose of Section 10
- Some of the misconceptions about the use of Section 10
- When should you ask for it, and when you should not
- Examining the concept of its use being restricted.
