355: Arraignment
"The part of a trial where the accused person is told what they're charged with and asked how they plead"
The law used to have a section called 'Arraignment' under the 'Trial and sentence' part of the Crimes Act 1961. This section was about how a person accused of a crime would be formally charged in court. However, this section no longer exists. On 1 July 2013, it was removed from the law. The government made this change through section 6 of the Crimes Amendment Act (No 4) 2011. This means that the rules about arraignment are no longer part of this specific law.
