Crimes Act 1961

Procedure - Filing indictment

345: Filing indictment

You could also call this:

"This rule about how to start a court case against someone was taken out of the law."

This part of the law is no longer in use. The section called 'Filing indictment' was removed from the Crimes Act 1961 on 1 July 2013. This means that the rules about filing indictments that used to be in this section don't apply anymore. If you need to know about how indictments are filed now, you'll need to look at other, more recent parts of the law.
