Commentary on provisions of Act Claims for compensation Section 11: Regulations
Subsections (2) and (3) provide that regulations to be made under the Act are to be subject to the negative resolution procedure. This is with three exceptions. Firstly, any regulations made under section 2(4) which restrict or are capable of restricting the categories of property in respect of which a claim may be made are to be subject to the affirmative procedure. Secondly, any reduction to the compensation cap (referenced at section 8(8)) must also be subject to the affirmative procedure. Finally regulations dealing with commencement will not be subject to any parliamentary procedure.
