119 .         Law and procedure to be applied

        (1)         In a trial by a judge alone, 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 alone, the judge may view a place or thing.

        (3)         If any written or other law —

            (a)         requires information or a warning or instruction to be given to the jury in certain circumstances; or

            (b)         prohibits a warning from being given to a jury in certain circumstances,

                the judge in a trial by a judge alone must take the requirement or prohibition into account if those circumstances arise in the course of the trial.
