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 ‘unclaimed amount, for part 3 (Unclaimed amounts payable by companies)—see section 6 (2).’ means that the term ‘unclaimed amount’ is defined in that section for part 3.
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)).
