(1) Subject to subsection (2), an act done or anything omitted to be done on board a Saint Lucia-controlled aircraft while in flight elsewhere than in or over Saint Lucia which, if done or omitted to be done in Saint Lucia would constitute an offence under the law in force in Saint Lucia, constitutes that offence.
(2) Subsection (1) does not apply to an act or omission which is expressly or impliedly authorised by or under the law in force in Saint Lucia when taking place outside Saint Lucia.
(3) Proceedings for any offence under the law in force in Saint Lucia committed on board an aircraft while in flight elsewhere than in or over Saint Lucia, other than an offence under the Civil Aviation Act, 1949 of the United Kingdom or any instrument made under it, shall not be instituted except by or with the consent of the Director of Public Prosecutions, but the foregoing provisions of this subsection shall not be construed as preventing the arrest or the issue of a warrant for the arrest of any person in respect of any offence, or the remanding in custody or on bail of any person charged with any offence.
(4) For the purpose of conferring jurisdiction, any offence under the law in force in Saint Lucia committed on board an aircraft in flight is considered to have been committed in any place in Saint Lucia where the offender is (and section 62(1) of the Civil Aviation Act, 1949, of the United Kingdom is repealed in so far as it is valid and applies in and is part of the laws of Saint Lucia.)
