Illustration for Food Act 2014

The Governor-General can make rules about how the District Court works when it is dealing with certain orders under the Food Act 2014. You can find these orders in sections 334 to 337. The Governor-General can make rules to help the court follow these orders.

The Governor-General already has some powers to make rules, and this is an extra power. The District Court Act 2016 gives the Governor-General some of these powers.

Some of these rules are called secondary legislation, which means they have to be published in a certain way. You can learn more about this in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019. There are also rules about how the court works, which you can find in section 228 of the District Court Act 2016.
