17. Statutory rule to be numbered, printed and published



(1) A statutory rule must forthwith after it is made be numbered, printed and
published by the Government Printer.

(2) A notice of the making of a statutory rule must be published in the next
general edition of the Government Gazette published after the making of the
statutory rule unless it is published in an earlier special edition of the
Government Gazette.

(3) As soon as practicable after the making of a statutory rule, a notice must
be published in the Government Gazette stating-

   (a)  the place where copies of the statutory rule can be obtained; and

   (b)  the date on which copies of the statutory rule were first obtainable
        from that place.

(4) A copy of the Government Gazette purporting to contain a notice published
under subsection (3) with respect to any statutory rule is conclusive evidence
that the statutory rule was printed and published by the Government Printer on
the date specified in that notice as the date on which the statutory rule was
first obtainable from the place specified in that notice.
