单词 summary conviction
释义

summary conviction
A conviction in a magistrates’ court. The magistrates are the judges of both fact and law and must either convict the accused or dismiss the case. The usual form of words for a conviction is “We find the case proved”, and a conviction may be returned on a simple majority verdict. Under the Magistrates’ Courts Act 1980, the magistrates may remand the accused for a medical examination if they are satisfied that he has committed the act he is charged with, but are in doubt as to his mental condition and whether or not to make a hospital order. Such a finding has the force of a conviction for purposes of the accused’s right to be granted bail.
