New Zealand law explained for everyone
You should know that this section of the law, which was about wilful damage, no longer exists. It was removed from the Crimes Act 1961 on 1 October 2003. This means that the rules about wilful damage that were once in this part of the law are no longer in effect. If you need to know about current laws related to damaging property on purpose, you would need to look at other parts of New Zealand’s laws.
