Crimes Act 1961

Procedure - Trial and sentence

361: Plea on behalf of corporation

You could also call this:

“How a company can answer in court when it's accused of doing something wrong”

This section of the Crimes Act 1961 used to be about how a corporation could enter a plea in a criminal trial. However, it has been removed from the law. The government took this section out on 1 July 2013. This means that this part of the law no longer applies and you can’t use it anymore. If you need to know how corporations enter pleas now, you would need to look at other parts of the law or ask a lawyer.
