Most legal proceedings require a prima facie case to exist, following which proceedings may then commence to test it and create a ruling. Prime facie is the first handed evidence which sometimes is known as case building. So in terms, the crown must always present prima facie evidence, substantially enough to have the case enter a full trial. Indictable offence is an offence which can only be tried after indictment and the determination of a prima facie. Also there are no time constraints that determine when the charges can laid. Furthermore police do not require a warrant to arrest under an indictable offence. Most indictable offences often choose to be tried by jury. Summary offence also known as summary conviction, can be tried without a jury, less serious, can be punished to 6 months imprisonment or or both.
