Illustration for Crimes Act 1961

The Carrying out of sentence of death part of the law has been repealed. This means it is no longer in use. It was part of the Crimes Act 1961, which is a law that says what is against the rules in New Zealand.

You can find out more about why this part of the law was created by looking at s 14(4). This section of the law tells you what the rules are about making new laws. It helps you understand how laws are made and changed.

The Carrying out of sentence of death part is not used anymore, so it does not affect you now. It is still part of the old law, but it is not something that you need to worry about. You can look at the rest of the Crimes Act 1961 to learn more about the laws in New Zealand.
