Crimes Act 1961

404: Restitution of property

You could also call this:

“Giving back things that were taken away unfairly”

This section of the law, called ‘Restitution of property’, used to be part of the Crimes Act 1961. However, it was removed from the law on 1 July 2013. This means that this specific rule about returning property no longer exists in the current version of the Crimes Act. If you need to know about rules for returning property, you should look at other parts of the law that are still in effect.
