NATIONAL ANTI-CORRUPTION COMMISSION ACT 2022 - SECT 91

Warrant for arrest

  (1)   If a superior court judge, sitting in Chambers, is satisfied, on the evidence, that there are reasonable grounds for believing that paragraph   90(1)(a), (b) or (c) is met, the judge may issue a warrant authorising the arrest of the person.

  (2)   For the purposes of executing the warrant, an authorised officer who is not a constable has the same powers and duties as a constable has in arresting a person for an offence under Divisions   4 and 5 of Part   IAA of the Crimes Act 1914 .

  (3)   To avoid doubt, the authorised officer executing the warrant need not be the authorised officer who applied for the warrant.

  (4)   The Commissioner must give to the Inspector, within 3 business days after the warrant is issued:

  (a)   a copy of the warrant; and

  (b)   a copy of the application for the warrant; and

  (c)   if the information given under subsection   90(2) is given in writing--a copy of the document recording that information.

  (5)   A warrant is not invalid merely because the Commissioner does not comply with subsection   (4).
