 (a) on the day it made the committal order; and
 (b) to the effect of committing the accused for trial before the Court for the indictable offence.
 (2) If an indictment including a count covering the indictable offence is filed in accordance with this Division, then this Division applies as if:
 (a) the accused entered before the Court, immediately after that filing, a plea of guilty to the count; and
 (b) paragraph 23CA(1)(b) were omitted.
