110: Obligation to give effect to direction

You could also call this:

"Crown entities must follow the instructions they are given."

If you are a Crown entity, you must follow a direction given to you under section 107 on the date it comes into force, as stated in section 109, or on a later date specified in the direction. You must give effect to the direction, which means you must do what it says. This applies to you if you are part of a group or category of Crown entities that the direction is given to.

If you are a new Crown entity, established after a direction is given, and the direction applies to the group you belong to, you must follow it from the date you are established or from a later date when other Crown entities in your group must follow it. You will know when to follow the direction based on what the direction says or when other Crown entities like you must follow it. You must give effect to the direction, just like other Crown entities in your group.
