342: Fines to be paid to local authority instituting prosecution
or “When someone breaks the law, the money they pay as punishment goes to the local council that caught them.”
You could also call this:

“This law used to talk about stuff that ships let out into the water, but it's not used anymore.”

This section of the law, called ‘Discharges from ships’, was part of the Resource Management Act 1991. It talked about offences related to things that ships let out into the water. However, this part of the law doesn’t exist anymore. It was removed on 20 August 1998 by another law that changed the Resource Management Act. This means that the rules about discharges from ships that were once in this section no longer apply.
