Construction of references

(1) Except where the context otherwise requires, a reference in this Act or any other law to a jury, the verdict of a jury or the finding of a jury shall be read, in relation to a trial conducted without a jury, as a reference to the judge, the verdict of the judge or the finding of the judge. 58 (2) Without prejudice to sub-section (1), where a trial is conducted without a jury under section 65A or section 65B, the provisions of this Act or any other law, insofar as they are predicated on a trial with a jury, shall not apply or shall be read and construed with such modifications, adaptations, qualifications and exceptions as may be necessary to bring them into conformity with a trial by a judge sitting alone without a jury. for
