340: Joinder of counts

You could also call this:

"Rules about putting different charges together in one court case"

This section of the Crimes Act 1961 used to be about joining counts in indictments. However, it's no longer part of the law. The government removed this section on 1 July 2013. If you want to know more about how counts are joined in indictments now, you might need to look at other parts of the law or ask a lawyer.
