Illustration for Search and Surveillance Act 2012

You need to know about some changes to the law. The law is talking about sections 200A to 200P of the Summary Proceedings Act 1957, which you can find on the New Zealand legislation website. These sections were repealed by the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. If someone made an application under these sections before 18 April 2012, and it was not finished before that date, the old law still applies. This means the old law applies to the application and anything related to it. The old law also applies to something called a continuing warrant, which is a type of warrant issued under the old law, as described in sections 200A to 200P, but not section 200F. A continuing warrant is a warrant for a tracking device or to remove a tracking device, issued under the old law before 18 April 2012, or issued on an application made before that date. The old law also applies to anything done under section 200G before 18 April 2012. This is what the law says about continuing warrants and applications made under the old law.
