SPENT CONVICTIONS ACT 2000 - SECT 4

The dictionary at the end of this Act is part of this Act.

Note 1     The dictionary at the end of this Act defines certain terms used in this Act, and includes references ( signpost definitions ) to other terms defined elsewhere.

    For example, the signpost definition ‘"conviction"—see section 6.' means that the term ‘conviction' is defined in that section and the definition applies to this Act.

Note 2     A definition in the dictionary (including a signpost definition) applies to the entire Act unless the definition, or another provision of the Act, provides otherwise or the contrary intention otherwise appears (see Legislation Act

, s 155 and s 156 (1)).
