Accident Compensation Act 2001

Miscellaneous provisions - Regulation-making powers

334: Regulations may confer discretion

You could also call this:

“Regulations can allow people to make choices about how to apply them”

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.
