Illustration for Trade in Endangered Species Act 1989

If the Minister makes an order under section 39D(2) about a vehicle or container that the Crown has taken, the order that said the Crown could take it is no longer valid. This means the vehicle or container is released from being taken by the Crown. You should know that this happens when the Minister makes this specific order.
