392B: Hearings on the papers
or “A way for judges to decide on appeals by reading documents instead of listening to people talk in court.”
You could also call this:

“One judge can make some decisions by themselves in court appeals.”

This part of the law has been removed. It used to be about certain powers that one judge could use, but it’s not in effect anymore. The government took it out of the Crimes Act 1961 on 1 July 2013. If you want to know more about why this change happened, you can look at section 6 of the Crimes Amendment Act (No 4) 2011.
