402: Costs
or “This part talked about who pays for court stuff, but it's not used anymore.”
You could also call this:

“If you lose something because of a crime, you might get money to replace it”

This part of the law used to talk about getting money back if you lost something because of a crime. However, this rule doesn’t exist anymore. It was taken out of the law on 1 October 1985. This means that if you want to know about getting compensation for lost property now, you’ll need to look at other, newer laws instead of this one.
