Where a Law confers power on any authority to make or issue regulations, the following provisions shall, unless the contrary intention appears, have effect with reference to the making, issue and operation of such regulations — (a) a regulation may, at any time, be amended, varied, suspended, rescinded or revoked by the same authority and in the same manner by and in which it was made; (b) the regulations may provide in respect of a breach of any of the provisions thereof that the offender shall, unless the Law otherwise provides, be liable to such fine not exceeding one thousand dollars, or to such term of imprisonment with hard labour not exceeding twelve months, or to both such fine and imprisonment, as may be therein prescribed; (c) where any Law confers power on any authority to make regulations for any general purpose, and also for any special purposes incidental thereto, the enumeration of the special purposes shall not be deemed to derogate from the generality of the powers conferred with reference to the general purpose; (d) no regulation shall be inconsistent with the provisions of any Law; (e) any breach of any regulation may, unless the Law otherwise provides, be prosecuted in a summary manner; and (f) any reference in any regulation to “the Law” shall be read and construed as meaning the Law conferring the power to make or issue such regulations.
