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
elsewhere.
For example, the signpost definition ‘conditional costs agreement, for
part 3.2 (Costs disclosure and review)—see section 261.’ means that the
term ‘conditional costs agreement’ is defined in that section for part 3.2.
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)).
