“This rule about using information from an earlier court case is no longer used.”
Section 360, titled ‘Evidence of former trial’, was part of the ‘Trial and sentence’ section in the Crimes Act 1961. This section no longer exists in the current law. It was removed on 1 July 2013. This means that the rules about using evidence from a previous trial are no longer found in this part of the law. If you need to know about how evidence from past trials is used now, you might need to look at other parts of New Zealand’s laws.
