24 Provisions relating to directions
(1) A reference in this Part to a direction extends to an instruction (however described) lawfully given, and:
(a) whether it is communicated to an affected person by the authorised officer or police officer who issued the direction or is communicated by another person, and
(b) whether it is communicated to an affected person personally or is communicated generally by way of notice or otherwise, and
(c) whether or not either or both of the Houses are sitting at the time it is given or sought to be enforced or complied with.
(2) It is not necessary to establish that such a direction was actually communicated to a person so long as steps reasonable in the circumstances were taken for it to be communicated generally.
