4.3 Main Part/Provisions

The main part carries the law's machinery, conventionally in this order:1. Substantive provisions — the rights, obligations, prohibitions.2. Administration — the office, authority, or body created; composition; powers.3. Procedure — applications, hearings, decisions, appeals.4. Finance — funds, accounts, audit.5. Offences and penalties — the prohibition's teeth and the prosecution's route.6. Miscellaneous within the main part — notices, service, delegation, protection of action taken in good faith.The drafter's ordering rule: general before special, earlier before later (what must be true first is stated first), and the reader's need before the administrator's convenience.
