Part 3 contains the Rules of the General Fono as at 1 May 2016, fully consolidated and edited. It provides a collection of the laws of Tokelau that are within the control of the General Fono. The laws that are within the control of the General Fono fall into two main categories: Rules made by the General Fono itself in the exercise of its rule-making power under section 3A of the Tokelau Act 1948, and Regulations made before 1 August 1996 by the Governor-General in Council under section 4 of the Tokelau Act 1948. The General Fono has the power under section 3A(2) of the Tokelau Act 1948 to declare that regulations made under section 4 are not in force in Tokelau, and in certain cases has used that power to amend them.
Part 4 contains the main New Zealand enactments of constitutional significance for Tokelau and the Letters Patent.
