41 Announcement before entry

(1) Before a warrant team enters premises in an inspection area or clarification inspection area, the national inspector executing the warrant must: (a) announce that the warrant team is authorised by the warrant to enter the premises; and (b) give any person at the premises an opportunity to allow entry into or onto the premises. (2) The national inspector need not comply with subsection (1) if the national inspector believes, on reasonable grounds, that immediate entry to the premises is required to ensure that the effective execution of the warrant is not frustrated.
