No details of the case were shared in court, however Quaile faces a single charge of non-fatal strangulation of a woman on November 9 last year.
The defendant said he had received copies of the papers in relation to the case.
After the charge was put to him, a prosecutor submitted there was a prima facie case to answer with no contrary submissions from the defence.
District Judge Michael Ranaghan said he read the papers and ruled there was a prima facie case for Quaile to answer.
The defendant declined to say anything or submit anything in writing which may be given in evidence at his trial.
He was sent for trial to Craigavon Crown Court with arraignment on May 19.
