Notes:
1. Includes all locally enacted Ordinances and Acts, and Acts specifically adopted from other jurisdictions. Statutes of general application which were in force in England as at 31st January 1968, adopted by section 4 of the Custom and Adopted Laws Act 1972, are not included.
2. Laws shown in italics are either —
— enacted but not yet in force as at the compilation date; or
— repealed by a law enacted but not yet in force as at the compilation date.
3. While it is thought that all Acts and Ordinances in force as at the above compilation date are included, no guarantee to this effect, or as to correct citation, is made at this stage of compilation.
4. Ordinances continued by Article 85 of the Constitution of Nauru have only been restyled as Acts where amending Acts have so cited them.
5. Listing of subsidiary legislation has only recently been commenced. Listings are NOT complete, nor have they yet been compiled in the form of principal law as amended from time to time.
6. Commencement dates are not shown. It is hoped that these will be included at a later stage of compilation.
7. This compilation is an ongoing work. The Legislative Counsel welcomes any information as to missing items and further matters for inclusion in future updates.
