New Zealand law explained for everyone
In this law, when you see an example, it’s there to help explain things. The example shows you how the rule works, but it doesn’t set limits on the rule itself.
If you ever notice that an example doesn’t match up exactly with the rule it’s trying to explain, you should follow the rule instead of the example. The rule is always more important than the example.
Remember, examples are just there to help you understand. They don’t change what the law actually says or means.

If an example and a provision to which it relates are inconsistent, the provision prevails.
