This section of the law, called ‘Trial in substituted court’, used to be part of the ‘Change of venue’ rules in the Crimes Act 1961. However, it no longer exists. The government removed this section on 1 July 2013. This means that the rules it used to contain are no longer in effect. If you need to know about current rules for changing where a trial takes place, you would need to look at other parts of the law or ask a legal expert.
