- CACC991/1974
The offence under s38(1)(b) is not a continuing offence for limitation purposes; it is complete when both elements (unlawful landing and remaining without authority) first co-exist (here in 1968), so the two-year time in s46 ran from then and the information laid in 1974 was out of time; the magistrate's dismissal was correct and the appeal is dismissed.
