Illustration for Intelligence and Security Act 2017

If you are asked to do something under sections 35, 37, or 42, or if you are given a direction under section 38, you might not have to follow other laws, policies, or usual practices. You might not have to meet certain criteria or standards, or follow specific requirements or processes. This means you can take action without doing everything you normally would have to do.
