Power to make statutory instrument under Act etc.
22 Power to make statutory instrument under Act etc.
If an Act or statutory instrument (the authorising law) authorises or requires the making of a statutory instrument under the authorising law or an Act or statutory instrument (the other law), the power enables a statutory instrument to be made with respect to any matter that—
is required or permitted to be prescribed by the authorising law or other law; or
is necessary or convenient to be prescribed for carrying out or giving effect to the authorising law or other law.
Subsection (1) applies to the authorising law even though the authorising law also authorises the making of a statutory instrument for a particular purpose.
Power conferred by the authorising law to make a statutory instrument for a particular purpose is in addition to, and does not limit the effect of, power conferred by the authorising law to make a statutory instrument under the authorising law or other law unless the authorising law expressly provides otherwise.
