Social Security Act 2018

Other provisions - Regulations

420: Regulations: effect of duties or powers to give directions

You could also call this:

“Rules about giving instructions don't stop the government from making other laws”

If the government has the power to make Orders in Council (which are a type of law) under this part of the Social Security Act 2018, this power isn’t limited by any other power or duty in the Act to give directions. This means that even if someone has the power to give directions about something, it doesn’t stop the government from making Orders in Council about the same thing. You can think of it like having two different ways to do something, and using one way doesn’t mean you can’t use the other way too.
