Part 6: Information to be included with Electronic Material Supplementary Section 57: Proceedings for an offence under this Part
Section 57 provides for the time limit for prosecutions for offences within section 50(2)(a) or (b) (offences in relation to which the Commission may exercise enforcement functions), and offences under section 49(4) or 51(3) (order or notice to take down electronic material in breach of section 41). This section reflects the existing position of the differences in time for prosecutions for offences related to the subject matter of registered parties and referendums (subsections (3) to (7)) and those with the subject matter of elected office holders and candidates (and now also future candidates) (subsections (9) to (15)).
