New Zealand law explained for everyone
The section you are asking about has been removed from the law. It used to explain some words used in sections 378C and 378D of the Crimes Act 1961. These sections were about trying people again who had been found not guilty before. The government took this part out of the law on 1 July 2013. This means that these words are no longer officially explained in this part of the act.
