### sec.103ZO Application of division
This division applies in relation to a criminal proceeding—
that is a trial by jury or by a judge sitting alone; and
that relates, wholly or partly, to a charge of a sexual offence.
For a trial by a judge sitting alone, the court’s reasoning with respect to any matter mentioned in subdivision 3 or 4 must, to the extent the court thinks fit, be consistent with how a jury would be directed about the matter under subdivision 3 or 4 in the particular case.
