345A: Time for filing indictment
or “This rule about when to file important papers in court doesn't exist anymore.”

You could also call this:

“Explaining how to ask for more time to give the court important papers about a crime”

This section of the law, called ‘Extension of time for filing indictment’, used to be part of the Crimes Act 1961. However, it no longer exists. The government removed this section on 1 July 2013. When a part of a law is removed, we say it has been ‘repealed’. This means that this particular rule about extending time for filing indictments is no longer in effect and doesn’t apply anymore.
