Characterisation: the process of determining whether a la(cid:449) falls (cid:449)ithi(cid:374) o(cid:374)e of the co(cid:373)(cid:373)o(cid:374)(cid:449)ealth pa(cid:396)lia(cid:373)e(cid:374)t(cid:859)s heads of power. The question is whether the law relates to the subject matter or purpose of the head of power in a way that allo(cid:449)s it to (cid:271)e des(cid:272)(cid:396)i(cid:271)ed as a (cid:858)la(cid:449) (cid:449)ith (cid:396)espe(cid:272)t(cid:859) to that head of po(cid:449)e(cid:396).

If it does, the legislation is valid; and so long as there is no other express or implied restriction, no further question arises.
