LEGAL ADVICE

LPA 01 01 23


Hon David Parker, Attorney-General

Consistency with the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990: Subordinate Legislation Confirmation Bill (No 2)

  1. We have considered whether the Subordinate Legislation Confirmation Bill (No 2) (‘the Bill’) is consistent with the rights and freedoms affirmed in the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 (‘the Bill of Rights Act’).
    1. The Bill prevents certain subordinate legislation from being revoked that would otherwise, by virtue of the Act under which it is made, be revoked at a stated time. The Bill confirms regulations and orders that were made in the year ending 30 June 2018 under the following Acts:
      1. Animal Products Act 1999;
      2. Antarctica (Environmental Protection) Act 1994;
      1. Biosecurity Act 1993;
      1. Commodity Levies Act 1990;
      2. Customs and Excise Act 1996;
      3. New Zealand Superannuation and Retirement Income Act 2001; and
      4. Social Security Act 1964.
  2. For the purposes of this advice, we have not considered the validity of the subordinate legislation itself or its consistency with the Bill of Rights Act.
  3. We have concluded that the Bill appears to be consistent with the rights and freedoms affirmed in the Bill of Rights Act.
