Ordinances & Resolutions

Ordinances

An Ordinance is a further definition, clarification or stipulation of existing powers, as prescribed by Acts of Parliament.  The passing of an Ordinance requires a detailed process of internal consultation before it is submitted for the consent of the Privy Council.  In practice, this means that the Court must consult with the General Council, the Senate and the wider community.

Resolutions

A Resolution represents the elucidation of a power which is within the Court’s own competence to enact.  In practice, it requires the General Council and Senate to be consulted and for representations to be sought within the community.  To satisfy the latter requirement, it is necessary for Draft Resolutions to be on public display (on the University’s central noticeboards at King’s College Quad and Foresterhill) for a stipulated period of weeks.
