134 What must be done before entry?
Before entering any land an authorised person must—
get the consent of the occupier; or
give two clear days' notice to any occupier; or
obtain a warrant in accordance with this section.
An authorised person may apply to the Magistrates' Court for a warrant to enter land.
The warrant is to be directed to an authorised person named in the warrant and authorises that person to enter the land named or described in the warrant without notice to the occupier, and to do the things authorised to be done by sections 133 and 135.
The provisions of the Magistrates' Court Act 1989 relating to application for, and issue and execution of, search warrants apply with any necessary modifications to warrants under this section.
