The dictionary at the end of this Act is part of this Act.
Note 1 The dictionary at the end of this Act defines certain terms used in this
Act, and includes references (signpost definitions) to other terms defined
For example, the signpost definition ‘motor vehicle—see the Road
Transport (General) Act 1999, dictionary.’ means that the term ‘motor
vehicle’ is defined in that dictionary and the definition applies to this Act.
Note 2 A definition in the dictionary (including a signpost definition) applies to
the entire Act unless the definition, or another provision of the Act,
provides otherwise or the contrary intention otherwise appears (see
Legislation Act, s 155 and s 156 (1)).
