Cap. 9 Art. 463Shorthand notes of proceedings at trial.

(1) Shorthand notes shall be taken of the proceedings at the trial on indictment of any person before the Criminal Court. A

transcript of the notes or any part thereof shall be made whenever the Criminal Court or the Court of Criminal Appeal so directs:

Provided that subject to the provisions of article 518, a transcript shall be furnished to any party having an interest in the proceedings upon the payment of such charges as may be fixed by tariff.

(2) The Attorney General may also, if he thinks fit, in any case, direct a transcript of the shorthand notes to be made and furnished to him for his use.

(3) The cost of taking any such shorthand notes, and of any transcript, where a transcript is directed to be made by the court or by the Attorney General, shall be defrayed, in accordance with scales of payment to be fixed from time to time, out of money provided by the Government. Rules may be made by the Board appointed under article 516(3), for securing the accuracy of the notes to be taken and for the verification of the transcript.
