The Criminal Procedure Rules are binding on prosecutors and judges, who must follow them. The great thing is, they can be produced quickly—much more quickly than enacting primary legislation. Plainly, I cannot speak for the Lady Chief Justice or the Criminal Procedure Rule Committee, as they are independent of government, but I am sure they understand the urgency, and I commit today to writing to the Lady Chief Justice to ask her if it would be possible to do this speedily.
