What's the difference between a cabinet minister's directive and the actual law?
#1
I’m trying to understand the practical difference between a policy directive from a cabinet minister and the actual law passed by parliament. My local council cited a ministerial directive when denying a permit, but the relevant statute seems to leave more room for discretion. Has anyone else run into this gap between what a department says you must do and what the legislation actually requires?
