56K: Order in Council imposing additional type of regulation

You could also call this:

"The Governor-General can create a special rule to regulate airport services for a limited time."

Illustration for Commerce Act 1986

The Governor-General can make an Order in Council to impose a type of regulation on airport services. You can find out how the Minister makes this recommendation in section 56J. The Governor-General can choose one of three types of regulation: negotiate/arbitrate regulation, default/customised price-quality regulation, or individual price-quality regulation.

The Order in Council must have an expiry date, which is the date when the order will end. This expiry date must be no more than 20 years after the order starts.

The order can be cancelled earlier if it is done in the same way it was made. An Order in Council like this is called secondary legislation, and you can learn more about what that means and how it is published by looking at Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
