These Rules of Court provide for a victim of an indictable or prescribed offence to furnish the Supreme Court with a victim impact statement to be read to or by the Court if the offender pleads guilty or is found guilty of the offence. The Rules of Court also provide for the requirements to be observed in preparing a victim impact statement, for the right of the victim to read the statement to the Court and for the presiding judge to direct that any irrelevant material in the statement is not to be read to the Court.
