When you look at the Habeas Corpus Act 2001, you will see that some changes have been made to other laws. These changes are already included in the Act. You can find more information about how these changes work in the Sections 17 to 19, and 21 of the Interpretation Act 1999. This means that some parts of the Interpretation Act 1999 apply to the laws mentioned in the Habeas Corpus Act 2001, as if they were laws made by the Parliament of New Zealand.
