8. Certain monetary amounts to be construed in fee units or penalty units



(1) A provision in an Act authorising the Governor in Council to make a
statutory rule that prescribes, fixes or charges a fee (however expressed) may
be construed as authorising the Governor in Council to make a statutory rule
to prescribe, fix or charge that fee by reference to a fee unit unless the
amount to be prescribed, fixed or charged would be less than the value of one
fee unit fixed in accordance with this Act.

(2) A provision in an Act authorising the Governor in Council to make a
statutory rule that prescribes a penalty for an offence against the statutory
rule (however expressed) may be construed as authorising the Governor in
Council to make a statutory rule to prescribe that penalty by reference to a
penalty unit.
