The dictionary at the end of this Act is part of this Act.
The dictionary at the end of this Act defines certain terms used in this Act, and includes references (signpost definitions) to other terms defined elsewhere in this Act.
For example, the signpost definition ‘appellable decision, for part 9 (Review and appeal)—see section 223.’ means that the term ‘appellable decision’ is defined in that section for part 9.
A definition in the dictionary (including a signpost definition) applies to the entire Act unless the definition, or another provision of the Act, provides otherwise or the contrary intention otherwise appears (see Legislation Act, s 155 and s 156 (1)).
