“The judge can pause the trial to give time for people to come and tell what they know.”
This provision, titled ‘Adjourning trial for witnesses’, was part of the ‘Trial and sentence’ section in the Crimes Act 1961. However, it no longer exists. The government removed this part of the law on 1 July 2013. This means that the rules about postponing a trial to wait for witnesses are no longer found in this specific section of the Crimes Act.
