| "Legislation" |
includes principal and amending legislation.
i.e. Acts and Amendments to such Acts. |
| "Act" |
refers to an Act of Parliament, which has
been passed in accordance with the relevant
procedure. i.e. it must satisfy the "rule
of recognition" which is required for the
passing of an Act of Parliament. |
| "Bill" |
A draft of a proposed law presented for approval to a legislative body, or,
The law enacted from such a draft. |
| "Statutes" |
A law enacted by a legislature. |
| "Subsidiary
Legislation" |
is also referred to as "delegated legislation"
and means any Regulation, Rule, Order, Proclamation,
Notification or By-law made in terms of a
principal Act. It refers to anything done
in terms of the power derived under the provisions
of the principal Act. It must therefore be
made in the manner set out in the enabling
provision. By the use of delegated legislation
a greater number of details of an essentially
subsidiary or procedural character are withdrawn
from inclusion in an Act, and is consequently
conferred on the executive by the same Act,
and various arrangements are made for parliamentary
scrutiny of its exercise. |
