New Zealand Legislation: Regulations
Regulations are laws made under Acts
(1) In relation to a critical contingency, these regulations provide for urgent notices to be given in certain circumstances.
(2) Despite regulations 21 and 22, an urgent notice may be given orally where the person issuing a notice considers that the urgency of the situation means the notice should not be given in writing.
(3) If an urgent notice is given orally under subclause (2), the person who gave that notice must, as soon as practicable, confirm that urgent notice in writing in accordance with regulations 21 and 22.
