A judicial officer can stop a court case for now and set a new time and place for it to happen. You can think of this like a pause button - the case isn't finished, it's just stopped for a while. The case can be stopped many times if needed.

If you are not in jail, a Registrar can also stop a court case before the trial and set a new time and place for it. A Registrar is a person who helps run the court. They can make this decision if you are not in custody, which means you are not in jail.

But there's an exception - if the Registrar is acting like the court under a specific rule called section 57, they can stop the case even if it's not before the trial or if you are in jail. This rule gives the Registrar some extra powers. The Registrar can use these powers to make decisions about your case.
