Commentary on Sections

Part 3: Services and Public Functions

Section 31: Interpretation and exceptions
Background

122.Much of what is contained in this section has its origins in previous legislation, but this is now brought together in an interpretation section rather than in the substantive provisions as was the case in the previous legislation. The subsection concerning employers arranging for provision of services to their employees by another person is new.
