312E: Effect of warrant
or “This explains what happens when a special permission paper is given to someone.”

You could also call this:

“Rules for getting a new permission slip when the old one runs out”

This section of the law, called ‘Renewal of warrants’, used to be part of the Crimes Act 1961. However, it no longer exists. The government removed this section on 18 April 2012. They did this when they made changes to the law through the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. If you want to know more about why this change happened, you can look at section 325(9) of that Act.
