"A way for judges to ask for help with tricky legal questions during a trial"

This section of the law, called 'Reserving question of law', used to be part of the Crimes Act 1961. However, it was removed from the law on 1 July 2013. This means that this particular rule no longer applies. If you need to know about current rules for appealing a legal decision, you should look at other parts of the law that are still in effect.
