New Zealand law explained for everyone

Civil Aviation Act 1990

Unruly passenger offences - Preliminary provisions

65E: Proceedings for offences

You could also call this:

“Rules about when and how you can take legal action for breaking aviation laws”

You have 12 months to start legal proceedings for most offences mentioned in this part of the law. This is different from what another law says about when you can start legal proceedings. However, this time limit doesn’t apply to some specific offences.

This part of the law doesn’t stop you from being held responsible under other laws. But there’s an exception to this rule in another section of this law.
