5.8 Appropriation Act

The spending's annual authorisation (the U4.5's statutory face): the Act's content (the ministries'- and-levels' allocations (the recurrent-and-capital heads)); the supremacy (the no-spend-without- appropriation rule's statutory force); the variations' discipline (the transfer-and-surplus bills' mid- year corrections (the parliament's continuing control)); the year's limit (the annuality's rule (the unspent's lapse-and-carry faces)); the relevance: the expenditure's legal spine (the budget's enforceable core).
