akt oskarżenia w postępowaniu nadzwyczajnym (ang. voluntary bill of indictment) Explanation: Something much shorter. The reader needs to have the English version for reference, though. ccccccccc Voluntary Bill of Indictment The Rules have been subject to various practice directions, the latest of which took effect on 2 August 1999. These directions state that the preferment of a voluntary bill is an exceptional procedure. Consent should only be granted where good reason to depart from the normal procedures is clearly shown and only where the interests of justice, rather than consideration of administrative convenience, require it. https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm199900/cmhansrd/vo00... |

How the decision for voluntary bill of indictment is made An application in this matter must contain all the details about the charges and about the accused person, including information about the criminal background, if it exists. The decision of whether a voluntary bill of indictment is necessary or not is made by a judge without any other influence of another magistrate in the court of law. Additionally, in such case, the prosecution or the defence cannot pronounce if a bill of indictment is necessary or not in the presented case, but the defence can offer different materials related to the case. The judge is the only one who can consider or not such materials. Parties involved in the case can make oral representations in front of the magistrate if there are special grounds. We also mention that the judge of a High Court in UK is entitled to decide whether a voluntary bill of indictment can be issued or not.
