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 Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Regulations 1994 by revoking the form prescribed for search warrants. The revocation arises out of the Search and Surveillance Act 2012, which will govern applications for search warrants under the Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993 and also dispense with the need for search warrants to be in a prescribed form.
Date of notification in Gazette: 30 August 2012.
These regulations are administered by the Ministry of Justice.
