Thank you for clarifying your request on 31 July 2022.
The Ministry of Justice cannot provide you with legal advice - this
includes interpreting the meaning of the law or its application.
If you wish to check whether any particular enactments are still in force,
you can do so by looking them up on the legislation.govt.nz website, which
is administered by the Parliamentary Counsel Office.
You have expressed particular interest in the Imperial Laws Application
