157 Defined terms—other parts of speech and grammatical forms If an Act or statutory instrument defines a term, other parts of speech and grammatical forms of the term have corresponding meanings. The Publication (Grants) Act 2001 contains a definition of publish and also contains other forms of the same word (‘published’, ‘publisher’, ‘publishes’, ‘publishing’ and ‘publication’). Because of this section, all forms of the word will have the same meaning except so far as the Act otherwise expressly provides or a contrary intention appears (see s 6 (3)).
