Section 314 — Crimes Act 1961: Procedure where prior consent to prosecution required

314 Procedure where prior consent to prosecution required Where any one is charged with any offence in respect of which the leave or consent or certificate of a Judge or of the Attorney-General or of any other person to the laying of an information is required, the leave or consent or certificate may be endorsed on the information or set out in a memorandum, and the endorsement or memorandum shall be accepted by the Court as proof that the leave or consent or certificate has been given.
