Crimes Act 1961

Schedule 1: Carrying out of sentence of death

You could also call this:

“Rules for carrying out the death penalty (no longer used)”

This schedule is about how a death sentence is carried out. It used to be part of the Crimes Act 1961, which is a law in New Zealand.

The schedule gave instructions on what to do when someone was sentenced to death. It explained the steps that needed to be followed to carry out this punishment.

However, this schedule is no longer in use. It has been repealed, which means it has been taken out of the law and doesn’t apply anymore.
