RULES PUBLICATION REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT)
1986 No. 218
The purpose of the regulation is to prescribe the power to make rules under sub-section 7Z(2) of the Evidence Act 1905 as a class of cases in which the exercise of a statutory power by any rule-making authority does not constitute the making of a statutory rule within the meaning of section 5 of the Rules Publication Act 1903 (the “Act”).
Regulation 3 of the Rules Publication Regulations (the “Regulations”) prescribes the classes of cases in which the exercise of a statutory power by any rule-making authority constitutes the making of a statutory rule within the meaning of section 5 of the Act.
The proposed regulation provides for the amendment of Regulation 3 of the Regulations by inserting as an exception to regulation 3 the power to make rules under sub-section 7Z(2) of the Evidence Act 1905.
