CROSS-BORDER JUSTICE ACT 2009 (NO 18 OF 2009) - SECT 31

31—Other persons required to do things

        (1)         This section applies in relation to a person other than an office holder, court or other person in relation to whom section 30 applies.

        (2)         The State’s cross-border laws do not authorise a person who is required under the law of the State to do something to do that thing in another participating jurisdiction unless the person has a connection with a cross-border region that is partly in that other jurisdiction.

        (3)         The State’s cross-border laws do not allow a person who is required under the law of another participating jurisdiction to do something to do that thing in the State unless the person has a connection with a cross-border region that is partly in that other jurisdiction.

Notes for this Division—

1         The examples in this Act assume the following 3 regions:

            (a)         a region straddling the State’s borders with Western Australia and the Northern Territory (the "SA/WA/NT region");

            (b)         a region straddling the State’s border with Western Australia (the "SA/WA region");

            (c)         a region straddling the State’s border with the Northern Territory (the "SA/NT region").

2         A person may have a connection with more than 1 cross-border region. An office holder or prescribed court of the State may deal with the person under the State’s cross-border laws on the basis of the person’s connection with 1 or another of those regions, having regard to what best facilitates the administration of justice in those regions.
