Subject to the provisions of this Regulation, these Regulations bind the Crown.

No act or omission done or suffered by or on behalf of the Crown constitutes an offence under these Regulations, but the High Court may, on the application of the Department, declare unlawful any act or omission of the Crown which constitutes such contravention.

Notwithstanding paragraph (2), these Regulations must apply to persons in the public service of the Crown as they apply to other persons.
