WHAT DOES COMMITTAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Committal procedure

In law, a committal procedure is the process by which a defendant is charged with a serious offence under the criminal justice systems of all common law jurisdictions outside the United States. The committal procedure, sometimes known as a preliminary hearing, replaces the earlier grand jury process. In most jurisdictions criminal offences fall into one of three groups: There are less serious offences which are usually heard without a jury by a magistrate. These are roughly equivalent to the older category of misdemeanors. There are intermediate offences which are indictable, but which can be heard summarily. For instance, theft is usually a serious offence. If however the charge is that the defendant stole a packet of biscuits worth only a very small amount, it would probably be heard by a magistrate. In Canada, these are known as hybrid offences, whereas in England and Wales, these are known as either way offences, and can only be heard summarily with the defendant's consent and if the Magistrates' Court finds that matter is suitable for summary trial. In Victoria, Australia they are called indictable offences triable summarily.
