Section 90: Orders and regulations

483.This section makes general provision in respect of powers to make orders or regulations under the Act. Subsection (3) allows orders or regulations to include supplementary, incidental and consequential provision and to make transitional provision and savings. Subsections (4) and (5) provide that any provision that may be made by order may instead be made by regulations, and vice versa; this is a matter of administrative convenience – the precise form of the instrument has no legal significance.
