Plain language law

New Zealand law explained for everyone

This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.

Planning Bill

Preliminary provisions

7: Application of this Act to ships and aircraft of foreign States

You could also call this:

"This law does not apply to some foreign ships and aircraft."

Illustration for Planning Bill

This proposed law does not apply to some ships and aircraft from other countries. You need to know it does not apply to warships or defence aircraft from other countries. It also does not apply to ships used by other countries for government purposes. This law does not apply to the people on these ships and aircraft either. However, there is an exception to this rule. If regulations say otherwise, then this rule does not apply.
