HGV Road User Levy Act 2013 section 18

Orders

Section 18 sets out the general rules governing how orders made under the HGV Road User Levy Act 2013 are to be created and what additional provisions they may include.

• Orders made under the Act may include transitional, transitory, or saving provisions to manage the changeover between old and new rules.
• All orders under the Act must be made by statutory instrument, which is the formal legal mechanism for delegated legislation.
• Transitional and saving provisions ensure that rights, obligations, or arrangements already in place are not disrupted when new rules come into effect.
• The requirement for statutory instruments ensures parliamentary oversight and a standardised process for creating secondary legislation under the Act.
