615B Law and procedure to be applied
(1) In a trial by a judge sitting without a jury, the judge must apply, so far
as is practicable, the same principles of law and procedure as would be
applied in a trial before a jury.
(2) In a trial by a judge sitting without a
jury, the judge may view a place or thing.
(3) If an Act or the common law—
(a) requires information or a warning or instruction to be given to the jury
in particular circumstances; or
(b) prohibits a warning from being given to a
jury in particular circumstances;
the judge in a trial by a judge sitting
without a jury must take the requirement or prohibition into account if the
circumstances arise in the course of the trial.
