5—Amendment of section 7—Prosecutor to furnish particulars of
victim's injury etc
Section 7—after subsection (2) insert:
(2a) If the offence is
not an offence in relation to which a victim impact statement may be furnished
in accordance with section 7A, the court must nevertheless allow
particulars furnished under this section to include a victim impact statement
unless the court determines that it would not be appropriate in the
circumstances of the case (and the other provisions of this Division relating
to victim impact statements apply to such a statement as if it were furnished
under section 7A).
