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

Effect of noncompliance—analysis of body sample

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

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)     Unless the court is satisfied that the failure to comply with the testing provision would not have affected the result obtained in the analysis, the court must dismiss the charge.
