412: Emergency notice prevails

You could also call this:

"Emergency notices are more important than other rules or notices."

Illustration for Food Act 2014

If you get an emergency notice under section 410 and it does not agree with the regulations, the emergency notice is more important. You should follow what the emergency notice says. This is because the emergency notice prevails over the regulations.

If you get an emergency notice under section 410 and it does not agree with another type of notice under section 405, the emergency notice is still more important. You should follow what the emergency notice says in this situation too. The emergency notice prevails over the other type of notice.
