A special advocate is someone who helps in certain legal cases. You might wonder if they can get in trouble for what they do. Section 122 used to say something about this, but it is no longer part of the law because it was repealed on 28 November 2023. This change happened because of a new law called the Security Information in Proceedings (Repeals and Amendments) Act 2022, which you can read more about on the New Zealand legislation website.
