Section 23YC — Crimes Act 1914: Destruction of forensic material where interim order disallowed

(1) If an interim order for the carrying out of a forensic procedure made under section 23XA is disallowed after the forensic procedure is carried out, the investigating constable must ensure that: (a) all forensic material obtained as a result of the carrying out of the procedure is destroyed as soon as practicable after the disallowance; and (b) a copy of the results of any analysis of the forensic material are made available to the suspect. Note: Division 9 contains provisions about making copies of material available to the suspect. (2) If an order for the carrying out of a forensic procedure made under section 23XWU or for the retention of forensic material under section 23XWV specifies a period for which forensic material obtained as a result of the carrying out of the procedure may be retained, the forensic material is to be destroyed as soon as practicable after the end of the period.
