Purpose and legislative effect

“This section appears to give the title of the by-law.”

This section appears to give the title of the by-law. This section defines key terms used in the ny-laws, including “aroa,” “check-point,” “collector,” “Council,” and “fish.” People who sell or export fish from the area must pay a fish levy to the Council, and fish cannot be sold or exported unless it was weighed at a checkpoint and the levy was paid. Fish levy becomes payable once the fish is weighed at the checkpoint, and payment must be made there; the collector must issue an official receipt. Anyone who breaks these by-laws commits an offence and may be fined or jailed, with heavier penalties for repeat offences.
