43—Reservation of question of law

        (1)         The Court may reserve any question of law arising in a criminal action (except a preliminary examination of a charge of an indictable offence) for determination by a superior court.

        (2)         The question will be reserved—

            (a)         if the question arises in proceedings related to an offence categorised under the Summary Procedure Act 1921 as an industrial offence—for determination by the Industrial Court;

            (b)         in any other case—for determination by the Supreme Court constituted of a single Judge (but the Judge may, if he or she thinks fit, refer the matter for determination by the Full Court).

        (3)         The Court for whose determination a question of law is reserved under this section may determine the question and give any consequential orders or directions that may be appropriate in the circumstances of the case.
