Addition of cause to list after transmission

Nothing in section 9 shall be construed to prevent the Director of Public Prosecutions from adding any cause to the list after it has been transmitted to the Registrar, Provided that if an addition is made at any time less than three days before the first day of the sitting of the court, the accused person shall be entitled to apply to the court for a postponement of the trial 18 to such day during the said sitting as would, in the opinion of the court, allow the accused sufficient time to prepare his defence.
