33: Status of Code

You could also call this:

“The Electricity Industry Code is an official set of rules that must be published properly”

The Electricity Industry Code and any changes made to it are considered secondary legislation. This means they must follow specific rules about how they are published.

If anything in the Code doesn’t match what other laws or rules say, the other laws or rules are the ones you should follow. This includes laws made by Parliament and rules made by the government.
