231: What this Part does
"This part explains the consequences of not following the rules in this act"
This part of the law tells you about two things. First, it explains what can happen if you don't follow the rules in this act. These are called sanctions. Second, it lists the things that are considered crimes under this act. These are called offences. This information is important because it helps you understand what might happen if you don't follow the rules or do something that's not allowed under this act.
