In this Law— a reference to a Minister is a reference to a Minister of the Crown of this jurisdiction; and a reference to a particular Minister by title, or to “the Minister” without specifying a particular Minister by title, includes a reference to another Minister, or a member of the Executive Council of this jurisdiction, who is acting for and on behalf of the Minister. In a provision of this Law, a reference to “the Minister”, without specifying a particular Minister by title is a reference to— the Minister of this jurisdiction administering the provision; or if, for the time being, different Ministers of this jurisdiction administer the provision in relation to different matters— if only 1 Minister of this jurisdiction administers the provision in relation to the relevant matter, the Minister; or if 2 or more Ministers of this jurisdiction administer the provision in relation to the relevant matter, any 1 of those Ministers; or if paragraph (b) does not apply and, for the time being, 2 or more Ministers administer the provision, any 1 of the Ministers. For the removal of doubt, it is declared that if— a provision of this Law is administered by 2 or more Ministers of this jurisdiction; and the provision requires or permits anything to be done in relation to any of the Ministers, the provision does not require or permit it to be done in a particular case by or in relation to more than 1 of the Ministers.
