167A: Notification of notices under section 167

You could also call this:

"Telling people about important notices under the law"

When a notice is issued under section 167, it has to follow some rules. You need to know that this does not apply to notices for section 60. The notice has to say what it is about and who it affects.

If the notice is a type of law called secondary legislation, the Director-General must make sure people who will be affected by it know about it. They can do this by putting a notice in a newspaper or trade journal, or by using electronic means. The Director-General has to choose a method that is practical.

If the notice is not secondary legislation, the Director-General must give a copy of it to the person named in the notice, as explained in section 167(6). This is what the Director-General has to do according to the Legislation Act 2019. You can find more information about this act on the Legislation Act 2019 website.
