Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

These regulations prescribe how summonses, arrest warrants and search warrants under the Australian Crime Commission (South Australia) Act 2004 must be served, issued and formatted.

They affect individuals and corporations who may be summoned or searched, examiners and issuing officers who seek enforcement, and judges who may direct alternative service; they standardise methods (personal delivery, leaving with an adult, registered post, or judge‑directed alternatives) and set required warrant forms so parties and enforcement agencies know what counts as valid process.
