220. Not necessary to prove intention to use

To avoid doubt, in any proceedings against a person for a contravention of section 218 or 219, it is not necessary for the prosecution or claimant to prove that the accused person or defendant intended to use the information referred to in section 218(1)(a) or (1A)(a) or 219(1)(a) in contravention of section 218 or 219, as the case may be.

In any proceedings against a person for a contravention of section 218 or 219, it is not necessary for the prosecution or claimant to prove the absence of facts or circumstances which if they existed would, by virtue of sections 222 to 230 or any regulations made under section 341, preclude the act from constituting a contravention of section 218 or 219, as the case may be.
