Orders
Decisions of the Privy Council are formalised in Orders, which hold legal authority; and are a form of delegated legislation. These Orders fall into two main categories: Orders in Council, which are approved by The King; and Orders of Council, which are approved by Ministers acting in their capacity as Privy Counsellors.
