"How a court of inquiry meets and works"

Illustration for Armed Forces Discipline Act 1971

You are part of a court of inquiry. It must meet at the time and place stated. If it cannot meet at that time or place, it must meet as soon as possible after that time or near that place. It must write down why it could not meet at the stated time or place. You have a president who must show the court its order and what it needs to do. The court then collects and records evidence as stated in section 200K. This is how the court of inquiry works.
