The reprint incorporates all the amendments to the regu lations as at 1 July 2013, as specified in the list of amendments at the end of these notes. Relevant provisions of any amending enactments that contain transitional, savings, or application provisions that cannot be compiled in the reprint are also included, after the principal enactment, in chronological order. For more information, see http://www.pco.parliament.govt.nz/reprints/. 2 Status of reprints Under section 16D of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989, reprints are presumed to correctly state, as at the date of the reprint, the law enacted by the principal enactment and by the amendments to that enactment. This presumption applies even though editorial changes authorised by section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 have been made in the reprint. This presumption may be rebutted by producing the official volumes of statutes or statutory regulations in which the prin cipal enactment and its amendments are contained. 3 How reprints are prepared A number of editorial conventions are followed in the prep aration of reprints. For example, the enacting words are not included in Acts, and provisions that are repealed or revoked 18 Reprinted as at 1 July 2013 Titi (Muttonbird) Islands Regulations 1978 Notes are omitted. For a detailed list of the editorial conventions, see http://www.pco.parliament.govt.nz/editorial-conventions/ or Part 8 of the Tables of New Zealand Acts and Ordinances and Statutory Regulations and Deemed Regulations in Force. 4 Changes made under section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 Section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 authorises the making of editorial changes in a reprint as set out in sections 17D and 17E of that Act so that, to the extent permitted, the format and style of the reprinted enactment is consistent with current legislative drafting practice. Changes that would alter the effect of the legislation are not permitted. A new format of legislation was introduced on 1 January 2000. Changes to legislative drafting style have also beenmade since 1997, and are ongoing. To the extent permitted by section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989, all legisla tion reprinted after 1 January 2000 is in the new format for legislation and reflects current drafting practice at the time of the reprint. In outline, the editorial changes made in reprints under the au thority of section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 are set out below, and they have been applied, where relevant, in the preparation of this reprint: • omission of unnecessary referential words (such as “of this section” and “of this Act”) • typeface and type size (Times Roman, generally in 11.5 point) • layout of provisions, including: • indentation • position of section headings (eg, the number and heading now appear above the section) • format of definitions (eg, the defined term now appears in bold type, without quotation marks) • format of dates (eg, a date formerly expressed as “the 1st day of January 1999” is now expressed as “1 January 1999”) 19 Notes Titi (Muttonbird) Islands Regulations 1978 Reprinted as at 1 July 2013 • position of the date of assent (it now appears on the front page of each Act) • punctuation (eg, colons are not used after definitions) • Parts numbered with roman numerals are replaced with arabic numerals, and all cross-references are changed accordingly • case and appearance of letters and words, including: • format of headings (eg, headings where each word formerly appeared with an initial cap ital letter followed by small capital letters are amended so that the heading appears in bold, with only the first word (and any proper nouns) appearing with an initial capital letter) • small capital letters in section and subsection ref erences are now capital letters • schedules are renumbered (eg, Schedule 1 replaces First Schedule), and all cross-references are changed accord ingly • running heads (the information that appears at the top of each page) • format of two-column schedules of consequential amendments, and schedules of repeals (eg, they are rearranged into alphabetical order, rather than chrono logical). 5 List of amendments incorporated in this reprint (most recent first) Criminal Procedure Act 2011 (2011 No 81): section 413 Titi (Muttonbird) Islands Amendment Regulations 2007 (SR 2007/375) Ngāi Tahu Claims Settlement Act 1998 (1998 No 97): section 337(1), (2) Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu Act 1996 (1996 No 1 (P)): section 34(2) Conservation Act 1987 (1987 No 65): section 65(3) 12 Wellington, New Zealand: Published under the authority of the New Zealand Government—2013 20
