396: Power to forbid report of proceedings, etc
or “The court can stop people from telling others about what happens in a trial.”
You could also call this:

“Rules about letting someone out of jail while they wait for their court case to be heard again”

This part of the law has been removed. It used to talk about giving bail to someone who is appealing their case, and where they would stay while waiting for their appeal. But since 1 January 2001, this section no longer exists in the Crimes Act 1961. If you want to know about bail for people who are appealing, you’ll need to look at a different law called the Bail Act 2000.
