Principles of the committee

The committee scrutinises delegated legislation to ensure:

  • that it is in accordance with the statute;
  • that it does not trespass unduly on personal rights and liberties;
  • that it does not unduly make the rights and liberties of citizens dependent upon
    administrative decisions which are not subject to review of their merits by a judicial or other independent tribunal; and
  • that it does not contain matter more appropriate for parliamentary enactment.
