408: Act to bind the Crown
or “The rules in this law apply to everyone, including the government.”
You could also call this:

“Explains how judges can make special instructions for how things work in court”

The law used to have a section called ‘Rules of court’. This section was part of the ‘Miscellaneous provisions’ in the Crimes Act 1961. However, this section no longer exists. It was removed on 1 July 2013. The government made this change through a law called the Crimes Amendment Act (No 4) 2011.
