Requests by Hong Kong for search and seizure

PART III

ASSISTANCE IN RELATION TO SEARCH AND SEIZURE

(1) This section applies to a criminal matter involving a Hong Kong 
serious offence if there are reasonable grounds to believe that a thing

(including a thing belonging to a class of things) relevant to the
criminal matter may be located in a place outside Hong Kong.

(2) Where this section applies to a criminal matter, the Secretary for Justice
may request an appropriate authority of the place outside Hong Kong concerned
to, in accordance with the law of that place, search for a thing relevant to
the criminal matter, and, if such a thing, or any other thing that is or may
be relevant to the criminal matter is found pursuant to such a search, the
seizure of that thing and its onward transmission to Hong Kong. (Amended L.N.
362 of 1997)
