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 ‘ "human rights" —see section 5.' means that the term ‘human rights' is defined in that section.

, s 155 and s 156 (1)).
