Schedule 3 – Transitional, Supplementary and Saving Provisions

Paragraph 4WAO’s procedural rules before rules are made under paragraph 27 of Schedule 1

98.The first formal procedural rules are to be made by the WAO (under paragraph 27 of Schedule 1 to this Act). Before those rules are made there will be no rules in place to govern the order of business of the WAO. Therefore, this paragraph provides that business (including making the first set of rules) will be conducted in accordance with procedures set by the Chair of the WAO. Once the first formal procedural rules are made, WAO business will then be conducted in accordance with those rules.
