384A: Jurisdiction in certain cases where appeals lie to different courts
or “This rule used to explain how to handle appeals when different courts are involved, but it's not used anymore.”
You could also call this:

“This law rule explained how judges decided if someone's complaint about their punishment was right or wrong, but it's not used anymore.”

This section of the law has been removed. It used to be about how appeals are decided in regular cases, but it’s no longer part of the current law. The government took it out on 1 July 2013. If you want to know more about how appeals work now, you might need to look at newer parts of the law.
