KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Negative Resolution
A negative resolution is a parliamentary procedure used in relation to delegated legislation.
Under this process, a statutory instrument automatically becomes law unless Parliament formally objects within a specified period.
The procedure allows delegated legislation to take effect without requiring active parliamentary approval beforehand.
However, either House of Parliament may annul the instrument if sufficient objection is raised.
Negative resolution procedures are commonly used for less controversial or routine regulations.
