A
BILL
TO
PROVIDE A LESIGLATIVE FOUNDATION FOR THE CRIMINAL CODE​

Preamble:

Many provisions within the criminal code currently lack a solid foundation in the form of an act of parliament. This act is intended to establish the necessary legal basis for these provisions. Additionally, this act provides definitions for specific terms to be used within the criminal code, ensuring clarity and consistency in their application.
This act shall only contain legislation that is not currently specified or governed by any other act of parliament. It is therefore important to note that this act does not constitute a complete list of crimes, but rather serves as a foundational supplement to the broader body of criminal legislation.​
