KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Orders in Council
Orders in Council are legislative or executive orders made by the Crown acting with members of the Privy Council.
They may be issued either under statutory authority delegated by Parliament or under the *royal prerogative.
Orders in Council are frequently used to implement delegated legislation, regulate public administration, or govern UK dependencies and overseas territories.
When made under statutory authority, they are a form of delegated legislation and may operate similarly to statutory instruments.
They should be distinguished from Orders of Council, which are made by the Privy Council alone without the Crown acting personally.
