Electricity Act 1992

Powers and duties of electricity operators and other owners of electrical works

34: Government Roading Powers Act 1989 not to apply

You could also call this:

“Parts of this law are more important than a road law from 1989”

Sections 32 and 33 of this act will apply even if they disagree with section 54 of the Government Roading Powers Act 1989. This means that the rules in sections 32 and 33 are more important than what section 54 of the other act says. You should follow sections 32 and 33 even if the other act seems to say something different.
