323: Powers of court of committal as to custody or bail of accused
or “The court decides if the accused person should stay in jail or be allowed out while waiting for their trial.”
You could also call this:

“Witnesses must go to the new court if the trial is moved to a different place”

This section of the law used to tell you what to do about witnesses when a court case was moved to a different place. However, it was removed from the law on 1 July 2013. This means that this part of the law no longer applies and you can’t use it anymore. If you need to know what to do about witnesses when a court case is moved, you’ll need to look at other parts of the law or ask a lawyer for help.
