Instruments: delegated legislatio(cid:374) (cid:396)efe(cid:396)s to a (cid:858)a legislative instrument made by a body to which (or a person to whom) parliament has delegated the power to legislate. (cid:859) They are made by the executive, or a minister, and apply to the general population: delegated legislation cannot be made by a body other than the parliament without the authority of parliament. Authority is given by an act of parliament. Regulations, statutory rules, by laws, ordinances, determinations, plans of management. Reasons for delegated legislation: giving the executive the power to make laws seriously. Ease pressure on parliamentary time; impairs parliamentary sovereignty and the constitutional balance. Corrupt laws that are not scrutinized will affect the people who have to obey. If laws are made affecting the subject, they should first be submitted to the elected representatives of the people for consideration and approval: often in vague language and lead to uncertainty.
