10 Other Acts may provide for form and administration of oath

(1) Sections 5 to 9 do not affect any other Act that expressly provides:

(a)

for a person to take an oath in a different form; or

(b)

for an oath to be administered by a different person; or

(c)

for an oath to be administered in a different way.

(2) However if, under another Act, a person is required to take an oath in a form that involves a reference to God or otherwise has any religious connotations, the person may choose to take the oath in the form provided by section 5(1)(a) instead.

(3) If another Act provides for a different form of oath but does not provide for how it is to be administered, the oath is to be administered as nearly as practicable in a way provided by section 8 or 9 (as appropriate).
