Explanatory note

This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.

These regulations, which come into force on 1 October 2012, amend the Extradition Regulations 1999 by revoking 2 forms related to search warrants issued under the Extradition Act 1999. The revocations arise out of the Search and Surveillance Act 2012, which will govern applications for search warrants under the Extradition Act 1999 and also dispenses with the need for search warrants and related notices to be in a prescribed form.

Issued under the authority of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989.

Date of notification in Gazette: 30 August 2012.

These regulations are administered by the Ministry of Justice.
