Illustration for Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006

The Governor-General can make regulations about things that rules under section 100 can cover. You must follow these regulations. They apply to practitioners, former practitioners, and other people they affect. The regulations are more important than any rules under section 100 or section 119(1) that disagree with them. You can find out more about how regulations are published in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019. These regulations are a type of law called secondary legislation.
