“Explaining important words used in this part of the law”

In this part of the law, there are two important words you need to know. The first word is “board”. When the law talks about a board, it means a group of trustees or a society that has been officially recognised under this part of the law.

The second important word is “Registrar”. The Registrar is a special person who keeps track of incorporated societies. This person does their job according to a law called the Incorporated Societies Act 2022.

These definitions help you understand what these words mean when you read them in this part of the law. Remember, these meanings only apply here unless the law says otherwise.
