Part 2Interpretation and application of legislation
Exercise of powers in legislation generally
44Limit on when pre-commencement exercise of powers takes effect
Anything that results from the exercise of a power under section 43 may take effect only on and after the commencement of the legislation that confers the power.
However, that limit does not apply if the exercise of the power is necessary or desirable—
- to bring the legislation into operation; or
- in connection with bringing the legislation into operation; or
- to amend, revoke, or replace anything previously done in reliance on section 43.
