#### 52A Examination of animals or plants on installations (1) A person authorised by a Director of Quarantine may examine any animal or plant that is subject to quarantine and is on board an installation. (2) A quarantine officer must: (a) if he or she is of the opinion that there is an unacceptably high level of quarantine risk in respect of the animal or plant—order the animal or plant into quarantine; or (b) otherwise—release the animal or plant from quarantine. (5) In this section, animal has the same meaning as in section 52.
