When you look at the law about how districts are set up for territorial authorities, you need to understand what some words mean. You can find the meaning of these words in a special section called 'Interpretation'. This section was part of the Local Government Act 1974, but it is no longer used because it was repealed on 1 November 1989 by the Local Government Amendment Act (No 2) 1989, which you can read more about by following the link to section 6(1). The law that repealed this section is the Local Government Amendment Act (No 2) 1989. This law changed the original Local Government Act 1974, and you can find out more about these changes.
