Local Government Act 2002

Preliminary provisions

5A: Temporary definition of public notice as result of outbreak of COVID-19

You could also call this:

“This old rule about telling people things during COVID-19 is no longer used”

The law you’re learning about is called ‘Temporary definition of public notice as result of outbreak of COVID-19’. It was part of the Local Government Act 2002 in New Zealand. This section of the law has been removed, which means it no longer applies. The government took it out of the law on 1 November 2020. When a part of a law is removed like this, we say it has been ‘repealed’.
