Intellectual Disability (Compulsory Care and Rehabilitation) Act 2003

Relationship with other Acts

You could also call this:

If you have an order under the Protection of Personal and Property Rights Act 1988, it does not stop the rules of this Act from applying to you. You will still be subject to the rules of this Act, even if you have an order under the Protection of Personal and Property Rights Act 1988. If there is a disagreement between the two Acts, the rules of this Act will be followed.

If there is a conflict between what this Act says and what the Protection of Personal and Property Rights Act 1988 says, this Act's rules will override the other Act's rules. The powers given by this Act will also override any powers given by the Protection of Personal and Property Rights Act 1988. This means that if the two Acts disagree, this Act will take priority.
