Note for regulation 82C
Category 1 provisions state that a particular person must do or not do something. Under regulation 82C(1) the person commits an offence if the person fails to comply with the provision.
Category 2 provisions state that something must or must not be done, but do not state who must do or not do the thing. Under regulation 82C(2) if a category 2 provision is not complied with, the person in charge of the livestock at the time commits an offence.
