The Act Enforcement provisions Section 25—Further restrictions on powers of entry and seizure
111.This section restricts the powers granted by a warrant under section 24. The power of entry may only be exercised at a reasonable time of day. For example, in the case of domestic premises, outside normal sleeping hours and in the case of business premises, during normal business hours. And where the premises were unoccupied or the occupier was temporarily absent, the constable must leave the premises as effectively secured against entry as the constable found them.
