61A: Search warrant

You could also call this:

“Getting permission to look for evidence when someone breaks immigration adviser rules”

You can get a search warrant for things related to this law. The Registrar, who is in charge of keeping records, can ask for a search warrant. They have the same power as a police officer to ask for one. This is allowed by another law called the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. The Registrar can use this power if someone has broken a rule in this law.
