327: Witnesses' expenses where indictment removed at instance of the Crown
or “Money for helpers when the big court case moves to a different place because the government says so”
You could also call this:

“This rule explained how to write up the official paper that says what someone did wrong, but it's not used anymore.”

The law used to have a section about how an indictment should be written. An indictment is a formal document that accuses someone of a crime. However, this section doesn’t exist anymore. It was removed from the law on 1 July 2013. This change was made by another law called the Crimes Amendment Act (No 4) 2011.
