Crimes Act 1961

Procedure - Retrials of previously acquitted persons

378F: Effect of order for retrial

You could also call this:

“This rule explained what happened after a judge said someone could have a new trial, but it's not used anymore.”

This section of the law has been removed. It used to be about what happens when a judge orders a new trial for someone who was found not guilty before. The rules about this changed on 1 July 2013, so this part is no longer in use. If you want to know what happens now when there’s a new trial, you’ll need to look at other parts of the law that are still active.
