It would satisfy a lot of my concerns. I don't think it would necessarily apply in all cases, because there still is that screening function. As a practitioner, even though that committal threshold is so low, I've done lots of cases where committal hasn't been ordered on all counts or at all. I wouldn't want to lose that, but in 90% to 95% of the cases that I think should go to a preliminary inquiry, I would be satisfied with a discovery procedure.
