New Zealand Legislation: Acts
Acts are laws made by Parliament
(1) The Secretary may from time to time, by notice in the Gazette, appoint a place to be the Plant Variety Rights Office.
(2) The Secretary may from time to time, by notice in the Gazette, fix the hours during which the Office shall be open for the transaction of public business under this Act, and may authorise the closing of the Office for the transaction of public business on any day.
(3) Where the time prescribed for doing any act or taking any proceeding under this Act expires on a day on which the Office is not open and the act or proceeding cannot therefore be done or taken on that day, that act or proceeding shall be deemed to be in time if it is done or taken on the next day on which the Office is open.

Subsections (1) and (2) were amended, as from 1 August 1990, by section 2(2) Plant Variety Rights Amendment Act 1990 (1990 No 82) by substituting the word “Secretary”
for the word “Director-General”
wherever that word occurred.
