The dictionary at the end of these regulations is part of these regulations.
Note 1 The dictionary at the end of these regulations defines certain terms used in these regulations, and includes references ( signpost definitions ) to other terms defined elsewhere.
For example, the signpost definition ‘ drug of dependence —see the Drugs of Dependence Act 1989 , section 3 (1).' means that the term ‘drug of dependence' is defined in that subsection and the definition applies to these regulations.
Note 2 A definition in the dictionary
(including a signpost definition) applies to the entire regulations unless the
definition, or another provision of the regulations, provides otherwise or the
contrary intention otherwise appears (see Legislation Act, s 155 and 156 (1)).
