394: Evidence for appellate courts
or “This law used to explain how courts get information when someone asks them to look at a decision again, but it's not used anymore.”
You could also call this:

“You can have someone speak for you in court, but not everyone is allowed to be there.”

This part of the law has been removed. It used to talk about your right to have someone represent you when you appeal a decision, and rules about who could attend. The government took this section out of the Crimes Act 1961 on 1 July 2013. If you need to know about current rules for appeals, you should look at newer parts of the law.
