392A: Decision about mode of hearing
or “This rule about how to decide whether a case will be heard in person or not is no longer used.”
You could also call this:

“A way for judges to decide on appeals by reading documents instead of listening to people talk in court.”

This section of the law has been removed. It used to be about ‘Hearings on the papers’ under the ‘General provisions as to appeals’ part of the Crimes Act 1961. The government took it out of the law on 1 July 2013. If you need to know more about this topic, you might need to look at newer laws or ask a lawyer.
