200E: Terms of reference

You could also call this:

"What the court needs to investigate and report on"

Illustration for Armed Forces Discipline Act 1971

When you are part of a court of inquiry, the person in charge must give the court a clear idea of what they need to investigate. They must also tell the court if they need a report or comment on what is being investigated. The person in charge does this by providing terms of reference, which is like a list of tasks, and stating what they need from the court.
