New Zealand law explained for everyone
This part of the law used to explain when a person accused of a crime could be discharged, which means they would be let go. However, this section has been removed from the law. It was taken out on 1 July 2013. This means that the rules about discharging an accused person are no longer found in this part of the Crimes Act 1961. If you need to know about the current rules for discharging an accused person, you would need to look at other parts of the law or newer laws that have replaced this section.
