You could also call this:

"Rules for how the court works with animal product laws"

The Governor-General can make rules about how the District Court works when it is dealing with compliance orders under the Animal Products Act 1999. You can find more information about the District Court's powers in the District Court Act 2016. The Governor-General's rules can cover things like how the court should work and what it should do when dealing with compliance orders.

The rules the Governor-General makes are called secondary legislation, which you can learn more about in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019. If you want to know more about the rules the court follows, you can look at section 228 of the District Court Act 2016. These rules help the court work properly when dealing with compliance orders under the Animal Products Act 1999.
