Article read:
- Alternatively an indictment may be issued by a court, following arraignment, at a preliminary hearing.
According to arraignment, this is when the plea is enterred; isn't indictment an earlier process than arraignment? -- Simon J Kissane
I currently have my civics book open and it agrees with you. The order of process that it states is, Preliminary Hearing, Indictment, Arraignment, Trial, Sentancing.Rudraksha 02:48, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
The pronunciation of this word should be listed somewhere on this article as the word sounds little like how it is spelt.
Yo! The explanation of R v Smith has been given as R versus Smith. In English law the 'v' stands for 'and'. It is in the US (and i am not sure where else) that stands for versus. I had changed this yesterday but it has been chnaged back... Come let us inform people correctly and not change it again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.35.115.185 (talk • contribs) on 5 July 2007.
- It only stands for "and" in civil cases, I believe 172.189.53.141 (talk) 01:22, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
The abbreviation "v" stands for "versus" ("against") in both English law and U.S. law, in both civil and criminal cases. The "v" does not stand for "and." Famspear (talk) 15:07, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
