122: Meaning of earthquake-prone building

You could also call this:

“This explains what buildings are considered likely to collapse in an earthquake.”

This section of the law used to explain what an earthquake-prone building meant. However, it was removed from the Building Act 2004 on 1 July 2017. The removal happened because of changes made by the Building (Earthquake-prone Buildings) Amendment Act 2016. If you want to know what an earthquake-prone building means now, you’ll need to look at the current version of the law.
