“The judge asks an accused person without a lawyer if they want to say anything about their case.”
This section of the law, called ‘Question to accused when undefended’, used to be part of the Crimes Act 1961. However, it no longer exists. The government removed this section on 1 July 2013. This means that the rules about asking questions to people who don’t have a lawyer in court have changed. If you want to know more about the current rules, you might need to look at other parts of the law.
