Queensland Consolidated Acts

AUSTRALIAN CRIME COMMISSION (QUEENSLAND) ACT 2003 - SECT 3

3 Interpretation

(1) The dictionary in schedule 2 defines particular words used in this Act.

(2) If this Act uses a term that is used in the ACC Act, the term has the same meaning in this Act as it has in the ACC Act unless the contrary intention appears in this Act.

(3) If the head of an ACC operation/investigation suspects that an offence (the
"incidental offence" ) that is not a serious and organised crime may be directly or indirectly connected with, or may be a part of, a course of activity involving the commission of a serious and organised crime (whether or not the head has identified the nature of that serious and organised crime), then the incidental offence is, for so long only as the head so suspects, taken, for the purposes of this Act, to be a serious and organised crime.

(4) A reference in this Act, other than part 2, to a function includes a reference to a power or duty.

(5) A note in the text of this Act is part of the Act .
