280: Imitating authorised marks
or “This law, which was about copying special marks without permission, no longer exists because it was removed in 2003.”
You could also call this:

“This law, which was about copying special marks, is no longer used.”

This section of the law, called ‘Imitating customary marks’, used to be part of the Crimes Act 1961 in New Zealand. It was under the part of the law that deals with arson, damage, and waste. However, this section no longer exists. It was removed from the law on 1 October 2003. This means that whatever rules or punishments were in this section are no longer in effect. If you want to know more about why this change was made, you might need to look at the Crimes Amendment Act 2003.
