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 words and
expressions used in this Act, and includes references (signpost
definitions) to other words and expressions defined elsewhere in this Act.
For example, the signpost definition ‘notified suspension or
cancellation, of registration—see section 56P (1).’ means that the
expression ‘notified suspension or cancellation’ is defined in
section 56P (1).
Note 2 A definition in the dictionary 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)).
