Crimes Act 1961

Procedure

You could also call this:

“Steps to follow when you need permission before taking someone to court”

This section of the law has been removed. It used to be about what to do when you needed to get permission before starting a legal case against someone. The government took this part out of the Crimes Act 1961 on 1 July 2013. If you need information about this topic now, you might need to look at newer laws or ask a lawyer for help.
