Illustration for Search and Surveillance Act 2012

You are looking at a law that changed some other laws. This law says what happens to some applications that were made before 18 April 2012. The old laws, which are sections 200A to 200P of the Summary Proceedings Act 1957, still apply to those applications. You might be wondering what a continuing warrant is. A continuing warrant is a special kind of warrant that was issued under the old laws. It can be a tracking device warrant or a warrant for removal of a tracking device, which was issued before 18 April 2012, or on or after that date for an application made before that date. The old laws also still apply to some things that were done before 18 April 2012 under section 200G of the Summary Proceedings Act 1957. This is the case even though the new law has changed some things. The old laws still apply to continuing warrants and to things done under section 200F is not included, except for some specific situations.

where an application has been made under any of those sections before 18 April 2012, and the application is not finally determined before that date, those sections continue to apply to the application and to any matter or obligation relating to the application in all respects as if this Act (other than this section) had not been enacted; and
those sections (except for section 200F) continue to apply to a continuing warrant and to any matter relating to the continuing warrant in all respects as if this Act (other than this section) had not been enacted; and
those sections continue to apply to anything done, before 18 April 2012, under section 200G of that Act.

In this section, continuing warrant means a tracking device warrant or a warrant for removal of a tracking device issued under sections 200A to 200P of the Summary Proceedings Act 1957—
before 18 April 2012; or
on or after that date on an application made before that date.
