New Zealand law explained for everyone
This section of the law used to talk about your right to be defended in a trial. However, it was removed from the Crimes Act 1961 on 1 July 2013. This means that this specific part of the law no longer exists. The right to be defended might still be covered in other parts of New Zealand law, but it’s no longer in this exact spot in the Crimes Act.
