The Crimes Act 1961 has a list of old laws that are no longer valid. You can find this list in the part of the Act called "New Zealand enactments repealed". This list is allowed by s 412(2).

The old laws that are no longer valid include the Acts Interpretation Act 1924 and the Capital Punishment Act 1950. There are also some old Crimes Acts and amendments to these Acts that are no longer valid. These old laws are listed because they are no longer part of New Zealand law.
