3Dictionary

3 Dictionary 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 words and expressions, and includes references (signpost definitions) to other words and expressions defined elsewhere in this Act. For example, the signpost definition ‘permit, for part 3 (Dogs and Cats)— see section 73.’ means the expression ‘permit’ is defined in section 73 and applies to part 3. 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)).
