Orders in Council

Orders in Council are official decisions made by the British monarch on the advice of the government’s Privy Council. They are a form of executive action used to create, amend, or revoke laws and regulations without going through the usual parliamentary process. These orders often handle routine or urgent matters, such as implementing emergency measures, transferring powers, or updating legislation quickly. While they are legally binding, their use is typically limited and subject to oversight, especially when involving significant legal or constitutional changes.
