Beyond the text
What this means for your estate
- This is the section that gives a code of conduct real teeth, failing to comply with an approved code is deemed a breach of the Chapter 3 conditions themselves, and is handled through the full Chapter 10 enforcement machinery, not a lighter sector-specific process.
