Illustration for Criminal Procedure Act 2011

You are looking at a part of the Criminal Procedure Act 2011. This part is called Temporary provisions in respect of COVID-19. It was repealed, which means it is no longer in use. The law says a hearing can be done by audiovisual link or audio link. This is allowed under section 410A. You can also look at what powers the court has. The court can decide who can enter and stay in certain areas. This power is related to the right of the public to be in the court. These rules were repealed on different dates. One was repealed on 3 September 2024 by the Courts (Remote Participation) Amendment Act 2024. The other was repealed on 26 November 2024 by section 410A(4).
