New Zealand Legislation: Acts
Acts are laws made by Parliament
If any person assaults an officer of a court while in the execution of his duty, that person shall be liable, on an order made by a Judge in that behalf, to a fine not exceeding $300, and the bailiff or any constable may take him into custody, with or without warrant, and bring him before a Judge:
provided that nothing in this section shall be deemed to prevent proceedings in respect of that assault being taken against that person under some other Act instead of under this section.
