8 Scrutiny and disallowance of Uniform Regulations

(1) Sections 40 and 41 of the Interpretation Act 1987 and the provisions of the Legislation Review Act 1987 apply to a Uniform Regulation in the same way as they apply to a statutory rule.

(2) However, if a Uniform Regulation is disallowed in this jurisdiction, the regulation does not cease to have effect in this jurisdiction unless the regulation is disallowed in a majority of the participating jurisdictions (and, in such a case, the regulation ceases to have effect on the date of its disallowance in the last of the jurisdictions forming the majority).

(3) In this section—

Uniform Regulation includes a provision of a Uniform Regulation.

Note.

If there are only 2 participating jurisdictions, a majority would in that case consist of both jurisdictions.
