Extra-territorial offences

80A. Extra-territorial offences



(1) If-

   (a)  a person does, or omits to do, an act or thing referred to in sections
        81-87 (both inclusive) outside, or partly outside, Victoria; and

   (b)  there is a real and substantial link within the meaning of subsection
        (2) between doing, or omitting to do, the act or thing and Victoria-

those sections apply to the act or thing or the omission as if it had been
done, or omitted to be done, wholly within Victoria.

(2) For the purposes of subsection (1), there is a real and substantial link
with Victoria-

   (a)  if a significant part of the conduct relating to, or constituting the
        doing of the act or thing, or the omission, occurred in Victoria; or

   (b)  where the act or thing was done, or the omission occurred, wholly
        outside Victoria, if the act or thing was done, or omitted to be done,
        with the intention that substantial harmful effects arise in Victoria
        and such effects did arise.
