You could also call this:

"What special words mean in this law"

Illustration for Local Government Borrowing Act 2011

When you read this Act, you need to know what some words mean. A Funding Agency is the New Zealand Local Government Funding Agency Limited, which is a company registered under Part 2 of the Companies Act 1993. The Minister is what section 2(1) of the Public Finance Act 1989 says it is.

If a word is used in this Act and it is defined in the Local Government Act 2002, it means the same thing as it does in that Act. You can look at the Local Government Act 2002 to find out what those words mean. This helps you understand what the words mean when you read this Act.
