or “This rule explained what happened after a judge said someone could have a new trial, but it's not used anymore.”

You could also call this:

“This part explained what certain words meant in the law, but it's not used anymore.”

This section of the Crimes Act 1961 used to explain what certain words or phrases meant in the context of appeals. However, it no longer exists in the current version of the law. The government removed this section on 1 July 2013. If you need to understand what specific terms mean for appeals now, you might need to look at other parts of the Crimes Act or ask a lawyer for help.
