Difference between act, regulation, code and policy
An ACT is legislation passed by the Parliament. Acts, (not including Schedules to Acts) can only be amended by another Act of Parliament
CODE is a systematically arranged collection or compendium of laws, rules, or regulations & any set of standards set forth and enforced by a local government agency for the protection of public safety, health
A POLICY is a viewpoint which need not be subject to legislation. People may or may not abide by it and its just an informal way of following principles
REGULATIONS, RULES, CODES are commonly known as "subsidiary legislation" and require publishing in the Government Gazette to become legal. These are the guidelines that dictate how the provisions of the Act are applied. They may also contain pro forma official forms that are required under the Act. Regulations and schedules to Acts can only be amended by a notice published in the Government Gazette
