ROAD TRANSPORT (ALCOHOL AND DRUGS) ACT 1977 - SECT 42

Effect of noncompliance—analysis of breath or blood

    (1)     This section applies if the court hearing a charge for an offence against this Act arising out of the carrying out of a breath analysis or the taking and analysis of a sample of the blood of a person is not satisfied that there has been compliance with every provision (a  testing provision ) of this Act relating to the carrying out of the breath analysis or the taking and analysis of the sample of blood.

Note     A reference to an Act includes a reference to the statutory instruments made or in force under the Act, including a regulation (see Legislation Act

, s 104).

    (2)     The court must dismiss the charge unless satisfied that despite the failure to comply with a testing provision the result obtained in the breath analysis, or the blood sample analysis, would have been the prescribed concentration for the person.
