Hi guys,
A self-represented accused has requested information from the informant (police officer) that the CRIMINAL PROCEDURE ACT 2009 says should be provided by the informant. The information is not in the preliminary brief. The information being refused is prior convictions of witnesses.
The informant has refused in an email to provide the information requested. Is this sufficient grounds to have the charge dismissed? The court is the Magistrates Court Victoria.
