Plain language law

New Zealand law explained for everyone

Local Government Act 2002

Regulatory, enforcement, and coercive powers of local authorities - Powers of local authorities to make bylaws

144: Bylaws Act 1910

You could also call this:

“The Bylaws Act 1910 is the boss when it comes to rules about bylaws”

The Bylaws Act 1910 is more important than this Part and Part 9 of the Local Government Act 2002. This means that if there’s any conflict between the Bylaws Act 1910 and these parts of the Local Government Act 2002, the Bylaws Act 1910 will be the one that’s followed. You can think of it like the Bylaws Act 1910 being the boss in this situation.
