Maritime Transport Act 1994

Miscellaneous provisions applying to this Act generally - Powers of entry

454: Warrant to inspect dwellinghouse, marae, etc

You could also call this:

"Getting a warrant to enter a house or marae for inspection"

If you are an authorised person, you can ask an issuing officer for a warrant to enter a place like a house or a marae. The issuing officer can give you this warrant if they think it is essential to inspect the place. You can find out more about how to apply for a warrant in the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. The rules about warrants in the Search and Surveillance Act 2012 apply to you, but some rules only apply to police officers. In this case, an authorised person is someone who has been given permission by the Director.
