or “This rule explains how you can question or challenge the charges brought against you in court.”

You could also call this:

“This rule explained how to accuse people who worked together to do something bad.”

You should know that the section about ‘Indictment of parties’ in the Crimes Act 1961 no longer exists. It was removed from the law on 1 July 2013. This means that this part of the law is not used anymore. If you need information about how parties are indicted (formally accused of a crime), you would need to look at other parts of the law that are still in effect.
