Crimes Act 1961

Procedure - Change of venue

324: Attendance of witnesses at substituted court

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.
