This section of the law, called ‘Stay of proceedings’, used to be part of the Crimes Act 1961. However, it no longer exists. The government removed it on 1 July 2013. This means that whatever rules or information this section used to contain are no longer part of the law. If you need to know about stopping or pausing legal proceedings, you should look for more current information in other parts of the law.
