You could also call this:

“This section about a court's power to handle less serious crimes has been removed from the law.”

The law about ‘Summary jurisdiction’ in the ‘Crimes Act 1961’ no longer exists. It was removed on 1 July 2013. This means that this part of the law is not used anymore. If you need to know about how courts handle crimes now, you should look at more recent laws or ask a legal expert.
