Form Overview

Central Criminal Court: No. 8 Notice of Application to Vary/Discharge Order made at Preliminary Trial Hearing (PTH)

This form is used in the Central Criminal Court. It specifically notifies the court about an application made during a Preliminary Trial Hearing (PTH). You use it when you want to change or end an existing order made at that hearing.

The form captures details about the original court order and what specific change you are requesting. It also confirms that the application was made during a PTH.

Risk Radar

  • Do not confuse this with a general Notice of Application; specify if you are varying OR discharging!
  • Failing to reference the correct original Order details.
  • Not clearly marking whether the application is for 'Vary' or 'Discharge'.
  • Submitting it before a PTH has actually taken place.
  • Omitting the case number assigned by the Central Criminal Court.

Plain English

If something was ordered against someone during their initial trial hearing in the Central Criminal Court, this form is how you tell the court what you want to do next. You are either asking to tweak the existing order (vary it) or scrap it completely (discharge it).

Submission Date

  • There is no single universal deadline listed here. Submission timing must align with when the PTH took place and when the change needs to be effective.
  • Preparation window: collect IDs, supporting records, and signatures in advance.
  • Final review: verify names, dates, and required fields before submission.
