EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This Note is not part of the Rules.)

These Rules revoke and replace the Indictment Rules 1915 as amended. The forms of indictment set out in the Appendix to the rules of 1915 have not been reproduced. Instead a standard form of indictment has been prescribed and provision has been made in rule 5(2) of these Rules for specimen forms of indictment to be approved by the Lord Chief Justice. The substance of the rules of 1915 have been reproduced though unnecessary matter has been omitted.
