Civil Aviation Act 1990

Cape Town Convention and Aircraft Protocol

106: Cape Town Convention and Aircraft Protocol to have effect in place of New Zealand law in certain circumstances

You could also call this:

"International aviation rules sometimes replace New Zealand law"

When it comes to certain matters related to aviation, New Zealand follows special rules set out in the Cape Town Convention and Aircraft Protocol. These rules are like an agreement between different countries about how to handle certain aviation issues. If there's a situation where both New Zealand law and these international rules could apply, the Cape Town Convention and Aircraft Protocol will be used instead of New Zealand law. However, this only happens for specific matters that the Convention and Protocol cover. Also, New Zealand might have made some statements about how they'll use these rules, so those statements need to be considered too.
