Interpretation
In this policy statement:
- numbering of objectives and policies is solely for convenience and is not to be interpreted as an indication of relative importance;
- section and policy headings are solely for convenience and are not relevant to the interpretation of objectives and policies.
Where clauses in a policy take the form of a list:
- where the list is cumulative, the word ‘and’ is used before the last clause in the list;
- where clauses are alternative, the word ‘or’ is used between all clauses; and
- where it is intended that clauses may be read either cumulatively or as
alternatives, ‘and/or’ is used between all clauses.
