SUBSIDIARY LEGISLATION - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Consultation
        
        prior consultation with organized interest groups and advisory bodies is sometimes conducted before the regulations are made. In UK, this is an established practice, although sometimes such consultation is informal in nature.
        
        It would be unwise for the Minister to make regulations without giving people who will be affected an opportunity to discuss the proposal
        
        Enabling Acts sometimes may make consultation mandatory before regulations are made so that failure to comply may render the regulations void as being procedurally ULTRA VIRES.
      - Publicity
        
        Since ignorance of the law is, in general, no excuse for braking it rules or regulations are readily made available to the public as soon as they come into force.
        
        It is the general practice that Subsidiary Legislation be published in Gazzete and will come into force on the date of publication or on such other date as may be specified.
        
        If the Subsidiary Legislation is not gazetted as required, it may be treated as invalid.
      - Parliamentary Control (Legislative Control)
        
        The making of SL was authorized by the Parliament (Parent Act). Therefore, the legislative body can always exercise controls over the SL.
      - Judicial Review
        
        This is one of the courts control over SL through judicial review where courts may review the validity of SL by applying the doctrine of ultra vires.
        
        By this doctrine, any SL may be declared void it its made in excess of statutory authority conferred by the Parent Act, or a particular mandatory procedure prescribed has not been followed, or it is contrary to the FC or State constitution.
        
        This is bcoz a minister or local authority does not have unlimited powers. They are bound by the parent Act.
