Delegated legislation or subordinate legislation means the rules, regulations, byelaws and orders that are made under various legislations/Acts. The Act under which the rules etc. are made is called the parent Act. The rules etc. are made by the authority which is given such powers under the Act. Delegated legislation helps the administration to provide for all the details and technical specifications that are required to carry out the purpose of an Act. For example, environmental standards are laid down in the rules framed by the central government under the Environmental Protection Act. Delegated legislation should not violate a person's fundamental rights or be unreasonable. They cannot go against the provisions of the parent Act. |
