Part 9Miscellaneous provisions
Regulation-making powers
334Regulations may confer discretion
No regulation is invalid on the ground that it delegates to, or confers on, any person or body any discretionary authority.
Regulations can give certain people or groups the power to make decisions. This means that a regulation can say that someone or some group has the ability to choose what to do in certain situations. If a regulation does this, it is still valid and can be used. You don't need to worry that a regulation isn't proper just because it lets someone else make choices about how to apply it.
