Illustration for Telecommunications (Interception Capability and Security) Act 2013

You need to know what happens before a notice is served under section 82. A designated officer must serve a written notice to the network operator before serving the notice. This notice tells the operator that the officer may use a power under section 82. You are told what the notice must say. It must say which telecommunications service it is about and why the officer is thinking of using the power. The notice must also give the operator a chance to make written submissions about the time they have to do the testing. The officer must serve this notice at least 10 working days before serving the notice under section 82.
