or “Rules about how people can be taken to court for breaking election laws and made to pay fines”
You could also call this:

“This law used to explain how some crimes were dealt with in simpler court cases, but it's not used anymore.”

This section of the law, called ‘Offences punishable on summary conviction’, has been removed. It was taken out of the Building Act 2004 on 1 July 2013. The removal was done by another law called the Criminal Procedure Act 2011. This means that this part of the law no longer applies and you can’t use it anymore.
