193 Additional procedure for electronic application
(1) If the magistrate receives an electronic application, the magistrate may

circumstances for the application to be made as an electronic application; and
(b) the electronic application was made as required under section 192(2).
(2)
After the magistrate issues the original warrant— (a) if there is a
reasonably practicable way of immediately giving a copy of the warrant to the
inspector (by emailing or faxing the copy, for example), the magistrate must
immediately give a copy of the warrant (a
"duplicate warrant" ) to the inspector; or
(b) otherwise— (i) the
magistrate must tell the inspector the information stated in section 191(2);
and
(ii) the inspector must complete a form of warrant (also a
"duplicate warrant" ), including by writing on the form the information stated
in section 191(2) provided by the magistrate.
(3) The duplicate warrant is a
duplicate of, and as effective as, the original warrant.
(4) The inspector
must, at the first reasonable opportunity, send to the magistrate— (a) the
written application complying with section 190(2) and (3); and
(b) if the
inspector completed a form of warrant under subsection (2)(b), the completed
form of warrant.
(5) The magistrate must keep the original warrant and, on
receiving the documents under subsection (4)— (a) attach the documents to
the original warrant; and
(b) give the original warrant and documents to the
clerk of the court of the relevant magistrates court.
(6) Despite subsection
(3), if— (a) an issue arises in a proceeding about whether a warrant issued
under this section authorised an exercise of a power; and
(b) the
original warrant is not produced in evidence;
the onus of proof is on the
person relying on the lawfulness of the exercise of the power to prove a
warrant authorised the exercise of the power.
(7) This section does not limit
section 190.
(8) In this section—
"relevant magistrates court" , in relation to a magistrate, means the
Magistrates Court that the magistrate constitutes under the
