  Définition

  Rules, regulations, by-laws, etc. made by persons or bodies under the authority given in a statute.

  Note :

  There has been an ever-growing tendency in the twentieth century to enact legislation in general terms concerning many matters the detailed rules of which could not possibly be drawn up by the members of Parliament or a provincial legislature. The difficulty is surmounted by giving the power to make such rules to subordinate authorities such as boards or commissions, government departments, municipalities, etc. The power to make such laws is thus "delegated" and the rules that are made in this way are termed delegated or subordinate legislation.

  Termes :

  1. subordinate legislation
  2. delegated legislation
