2 Dictionary
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
or in other legislation.
For example, the signpost definition ‘injury—see section 4 (Meaning of
injury).’ means that injury is defined in that section.
Note 2 A definition in the dictionary (including a signpost definition) 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)).
