Memoranda of understanding and agency agreements
We have memoranda of understanding with a number of different government departments and agencies. Their purpose is to promote effective coordination of the regulatory roles of each body, and effective cooperation between them. They are not intended to be legally binding or to create expectations whose non-fulfillment would give rise to rights at law.
We also have agency agreements with different government departments. These have legal effect, and transfer various statutory functions, by agreement, from one body to the other.
