or\n\n(ii) leaving it at the place or on the premises where the person is;\n\n(c) if service in the manner specified in paragraph (a) or (b) is not practicable—\n\n(i) leaving a copy of the summons at the person's last known or usual place of residence or business with another person who is, or is reasonably believed to be—\n\n(A) over 16 years of age; and\n\n(B) residing or employed at that place; or\n\n(ii) sending a copy of the summons by registered post or certified mail addressed to the person at the person's last known or usual place of residence or business or postal address; or\n\n(iii) delivering a copy of the document to the person by means of an electronic communication that is confirmed as having been received by the person;\n\n(d) if a Judge has given a direction under subregulation (3), in a manner specified in subregulation (4).\n\n(2) For the purposes of section 23(1) and (2)(c) of the Act, each of the following manners of serving a summons is prescribed for a summons directed to a body corporate—\n\n(a) giving a copy of the summons to a person who is, or is reasonably believed to be, over 16 years of age and an officer of, or in the service of, the body corporate at the head office, a registered office, a principal office or a principal place of business of the body corporate;\n\n(b) if, on attempting to give a copy of the summons to a person in the manner specified in paragraph (a), the person refuses to accept it—\n\n(i) putting it down in the presence of the person; or\n\n(ii) leaving it at the place or on the premises where the person is;\n\n(c) sending a copy of the summons by registered post or certified mail addressed to the body corporate at the head office, a registered office, a principal office, a principal place of business or a postal address of the body corporate;\n\n(d) delivering a copy of the summons to the body corporate by means of an electronic communication that is confirmed as having been received by the body corporate.\n\n(3) On application by an examiner in writing, a Judge may direct that a person be served with a summons in a manner specified in subregulation (4) if the Judge is satisfied on the basis of written information provided by the examiner that—\n\n(a) service of the summons on the person in a manner specified in subregulation (1)(a), (b) or (c) has not been, or is not likely to be, successful; and\n\n(b) there is a likelihood that service of the summons in a manner specified in subregulation (4) would result in the summons coming to the notice of the person.\n\n(4) The specified manners of service are—\n\n(a) leaving a copy of the summons with another person identified in the direction who, in the opinion of the Judge, is likely to bring the contents of the summons to the notice of the person named in the summons; or\n\n(b) sending a copy of the summons by registered post or certified mail to an address specified in the direction that the Judge has reasonable grounds to believe to be a place frequented by the person named in the summons.\n\n(5) In this regulation—\n\n***Judge*** means—\n\n(a) a Judge of the Federal Court;

Any heading inserted in a Statutory Rule which was made before 1 January 2001, by a Statutory Rule made on or after 1 January 2001, forms part of that Statutory Rule.  \nThis includes headings to Parts, Divisions or Subdivisions in a Schedule; Orders; Parts into which an Order is divided; clauses; regulations; rules; items; tables; columns; examples; diagrams; notes or forms.  \nSee section 36(1A)(2A)(2B).\n\n• Examples, diagrams or notes\n\nAll examples, diagrams or notes included in a Statutory Rule which is made on or after 1 January 2001 form part of that Statutory Rule. Any examples, diagrams or notes inserted in a Statutory Rule which was made before 1 January 2001, by a Statutory Rule made on or after 1 January 2001, form part of that Statutory Rule. See section 36(3A).\n\n• Punctuation\n\nAll punctuation included in a Statutory Rule which is made on or after  \n1 January 2001 forms part of that Statutory Rule. Any punctuation inserted in a Statutory Rule which was made before 1 January 2001, by a Statutory Rule made on or after 1 January 2001, forms part of that Statutory Rule.  \nSee section 36(3B).\n\n• Provision numbers\n\nAll provision numbers included in a Statutory Rule form part of that Statutory Rule, whether inserted in the Statutory Rule before, on or after  \n1 January 2001. Provision numbers include regulation numbers, rule numbers, subregulation numbers, subrule numbers, paragraphs and subparagraphs. See section 36(3C).\n\n• Location of \"legislative items\"\n\nA \"legislative item\" is a penalty, an example or a note. As from 13 October 2004, a legislative item relating to a provision of a Statutory Rule is taken to be at the foot of that provision even if it is preceded or followed by another legislative item that relates to that provision. For example, if a penalty at the foot of a provision is followed by a note, both of these legislative items will be regarded as being at the foot of that provision. See section 36B.\n\n• Other material\n\nAny explanatory memorandum, table of provisions, endnotes, index and other material printed after the Endnotes does not form part of a Statutory Rule.

This Act gives the Australian Crime Commission (ACC) — now known as the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) — special powers to investigate serious and organised crime in Victoria.\n\n**Three main things are covered:**\n\n1. **How to serve a summons** — The rules for officially delivering a legal order that requires someone to appear before an ACC examiner to give evidence. The Regulations spell out multiple ways this can happen:\n   - Handing it to the person directly\n   - Leaving it with someone else at their home or work (if they're over 16)\n   - Sending it by registered post\n   - **New for 2024:** Delivering it electronically (email or similar) if receipt is confirmed\n   - If all else fails, getting a Judge to approve alternative service methods\n\n2. **Form of arrest warrant** — A template for warrants authorising police or ACC officers to arrest someone who is trying to avoid giving evidence, has absconded, or is likely to flee Australia.\n\n3. **Form of search warrant** — A template for warrants allowing officers to search property, vehicles, vessels, or aircraft and seize evidence connected to ACC investigations.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- **Witnesses and suspects** in ACC investigations — they may receive summonses or be subject to warrants\n- **Police and ACC officers** — they follow these rules when serving documents and executing warrants\n- **Judges** — they issue warrants and can approve alternative service methods when standard approaches fail\n- **Businesses** — special rules apply for serving documents on companies\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThese Regulations ensure ACC investigations can proceed fairly and effectively. The 2024 update modernises the rules by adding **electronic service** as a valid option, reflecting how communication actually works today. Without clear service rules, people could dodge legal obligations by simply refusing to accept documents. Without standard warrant forms, there'd be confusion about what powers officers actually have."},"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":3,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"This instrument is procedural and replaces the 2014 Regulations (Reg 3) with updated forms and explicit methods of service. It does not expand the substantive powers granted by the Australian Crime Commission (State Provisions) Act 2003; rather it prescribes how those powers are to be exercised (service methods and warrant/form requirements). Any changes are to form and procedure (including adding explicit electronic service and specified Schedule requirements), not to the statutory scope of ACC powers."},"complexity_factors":["Short instrument: 7 regulations and 2 schedules (compact length)","Few defined terms: only 'the Act' and 'Judge' defined (Reg 4; Reg 5(5))","Moderate cross‑references to the principal Act and the Australian Crime Commission Act 2002 (several references in Schedules)","Conditional service rules with nested alternatives and a judge‑directed exception (Reg 5(1)–(4))","Prescribed warrant forms with multiple fill‑in fields and optional paragraphs (Schedules 1–2)","Time‑limit condition for search warrants (expiry not later than one month) in Schedule 2","Operational discretion: judicial satisfaction requirement and executing officer powers (Schedules 1–2)"],"plain_english_summary":"**What this instrument does (mechanically)\n\n- Replaces the 2014 regulations and prescribes how certain powers in the Australian Crime Commission (State Provisions) Act 2003 (\"the Act\") are to be exercised (Reg 3; Reg 1).  It is a procedural, form‑setting instrument made under s 50 of the Act (Reg 2).\n\n- Specifies how a summons to appear before an examiner can be served on natural persons and on bodies corporate. Methods include personal delivery, leaving the summons at the person’s place, registered post, and electronic delivery where receipt is confirmed. A Judge may also approve alternative service in particular cases (Reg 5(1)–(4)).  It defines who counts as a \"Judge\" for those directions (Reg 5(5)).\n\n- Prescribes the exact forms that must be used for a warrant to apprehend a witness and for a search warrant, and what those forms must contain (Reg 6–7; Schedules 1–2).  The search warrant form requires particulars such as the place or vehicle to be searched, the things authorised to be seized (Schedule 1), and a description of the special ACC operation and relevant criminal activity (Schedule 2). The warrant forms also record the issuing officer, date, scope (hours, entry powers), and an expiry limit for search warrants (not later than one month) (Schedule 2).\n\n\nWhy the instrument says it matters (official rationale)\n\n- The instrument’s stated objective is to fix the manner of serving summonses and to set the forms for apprehension and search warrants under the State Provisions Act (Reg 1). In other words, it standardises procedure and paperwork for ACC State operations.\n\n\nPractical effects, actors and immediate trade‑offs\n\n- Who decides: Judges (Federal, Supreme or County) decide whether to authorise alternative methods of service and issue warrants (Reg 5(3)–(4); Schedules). The issuing Judge must be satisfied there are reasonable grounds before issuing warrants (Schedules 1 & 2).\n\n- Who acts/executes: the Australian Crime Commission (ACC) and authorised executing officers (for example, members of the Australian Federal Police or other police officers) serve summonses and execute warrants (Schedules 1 & 2). Executing officers are authorised to enter premises and use no more force than is reasonably necessary (Schedules 1 & 2).\n\n- Who pays / bears costs: operational costs fall on the ACC and police agencies carrying out service and warrant execution. Indirect costs fall on persons and businesses subject to summons, apprehension or search (time, legal costs, disruption, property access). Service by registered post or electronic means shifts minor transactional costs (Reg 5(1)(c)(ii) and (iii)).\n\n- Behaviour changes incentivised or permitted:\n  - Service methods broadened to include confirmed electronic delivery and judicially‑directed alternative service; that may reduce failed service attempts and increase the practical reach of summonses (Reg 5(1)(c)(iii); Reg 5(3)–(4)).\n  - Warrants in the prescribed form expressly authorise breaking and entry, searches at specified hours (including night), seizure of specified items linked to a named ACC special operation, and delivery of seized items to participants in that operation—this gives executing officers a clear, standard legal basis for intrusive steps (Schedules 1 & 2).\n\n\nCosts, incentives, trade‑offs and implementation risks (mechanistic description)\n\n- Compliance burden and operational cost: agencies must follow the prescribed service methods and use the prescribed warrant forms. Service by registered post and the requirement to confirm electronic receipt impose administrative steps (Reg 5(1)(c)(ii)–(iii)). Preparing Schedule 2 requires documenting a special ACC operation and the relevant criminal activity, which adds record‑keeping obligations for each warrant (Schedule 2(1)–(3)).\n\n- Bureaucratic discretion: Judges retain discretion to permit alternative service when standard methods are impracticable (Reg 5(3)–(4)). The issuing Judge also decides whether reasonable grounds exist for warrants (Schedules 1 & 2). That judicial discretion is a gatekeeping mechanism; its exercise affects operational effectiveness.\n\n- Concentrated benefits vs diffuse costs: The ACC and participating investigators receive a standardised, robust procedure for compelling attendance, apprehension, entry and seizure—benefits concentrated on law enforcement. Costs (time, access disruption, privacy intrusion risk) are borne by individuals and organisations that are served or searched.\n\n- Evidence and proof issues (implementation risk): electronic service requires confirmed receipt (Reg 5(1)(c)(iii)), which raises practical questions about what counts as adequate confirmation. Service left with another adult at a last known address depends on the truth of the \"last known\" information—failed or wrongly attributed service can generate secondary enforcement steps (Reg 5(1)(c)(i)).\n\n- Private enterprise effects: businesses may be required to accept service at head or principal offices (Reg 5(2)(a)), or to produce things seized under a search warrant (Schedule 2). The instrument does not change what may be seized (that is governed by the Act) but prescribes the form and procedural safeguards (expiry, specification of items and operation) for search warrants (Reg 7; Schedule 2).\n\n\nBottom line (concise)\n\n- These Regulations standardise how the ACC’s State powers are put into action: how summonses may be served, and the exact content and authority of apprehension and search warrants. They do not expand the statutory powers in the underlying Act but set the procedural and documentary rules that officers and judges must follow (Reg 1–2; Schedules 1–2)."},"issue_detection":{"absurdities":[],"contradictions":[]},"flash_summary_failed":{"failed":true,"reason":"A positive credit balance is required for all requests, including BYOK, so fallback providers remain available.
