Crimes Act 1961

Crimes against rights of property - Arson, damage, and waste

302: Attempting to wreck

You could also call this:

“This law used to be about trying to make ships or planes crash, but it's not used anymore.”

This section of the law, called ‘Attempting to wreck’, used to be part of the Crimes Act 1961. It was in the part of the act that dealt 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 this section used to say about attempting to wreck something is no longer part of New Zealand’s criminal law.
