361: Plea on behalf of corporation
or “How a company can answer in court when it's accused of doing something wrong”
You could also call this:

“This rule about having a trial with a judge and a group of people called a jury doesn't exist anymore.”

This section of the law used to talk about how trials with a judge and jury would work. However, it’s no longer part of the law. On 1 July 2013, this section was removed from the Crimes Act 1961. The change was made by section 6 of the Crimes Amendment Act (No 4) 2011. This means that the rules about trials with a judge and jury might now be found in a different part of the law or might have changed completely.
