Examination

Reference is thereby to be made to any emergency legal services which are available. The accused is, further, to be advised that he or she may request evidence to be taken in his or her defence and, under the conditions of section 140, to request the appointment of court-appointed defence counsel in accordance with section 141 (1) and section 142 (1); in the latter case, reference is to be made to the obligation to pay costs as referred to in section 465. In appropriate cases, the accused is also, as a rule, to be informed that he or she may make a written statement and of the possibility of victim–offender mediation.
