Expressions in statutory instrument have same meaning as in enactment
Cap. 1, s. 29 · Revised Edition 2020

(a) expressions used in the statutory instrument or document have the same respective meanings as in the enactment; and
(b) the expression “the Act” if used in the statutory instrument or document shall be construed as referring to the Act under which the instrument is made or the document issued, as the case may be.
