Statutory instrument

An Act establishes the broad legal requirements pertaining to a particular topic and grants powers of enforcement to the relevant Government Minister. An Act will also usually confer power on the Minister to issue further detailed regulations that enable practical application and enforcement of the Act. Such regulations are issued in the form of Statutory Instruments in Europe or additions to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) in the US.
