MARITIME POWERS ACT 2013 (NO. 15, 2013) - SECT 23 When authorisations are in force

MARITIME POWERS ACT 2013 (NO. 15, 2013) - SECT 23

When authorisations are in force

             (1)  An authorisation given by an authorising officer under Division 2 is in force until:

                     (a)  it is spent; or

                     (b)  it lapses.

When authorisation is spent

             (2)  An authorisation is spent when the continuous exercise of powers under the authorisation ends.

Note:          The continuous exercise of powers does not end only because there is a period of time between the exercise of one or more of those powers: see section 11.

When authorisation lapses

             (3)  An authorisation lapses if powers have not been exercised under the authorisation within 72 hours after it is given.
