Australian Capital Territory Consolidated Acts

BAIL ACT 1992 - SECT 2

The dictionary at the end of this Act is part of this Act.

Note 1     The dictionary at the end of this Act defines certain terms used in this Act, and includes references ("signpost definitions") to other terms defined elsewhere.

    For example, the signpost definition ‘ mental dysfunction —see the Mental Health (Treatment and Care) Act 1994 , dictionary.' means that the term ‘mental dysfunction' is defined in that dictionary and the definition applies to this Act.

Note 2     A definition in the dictionary (including a signpost definition) applies to the entire Act unless the definition, or another provision of the Act, provides otherwise or the contrary intention otherwise appears (see Legislation Act, s 155 and s 156 (1)).
