Delegated legislation refers to the power given to someone other than the legislative body to create laws on their behalf. One advantage of delegated legislation is that it enables contingencies to be taken care of. In other words, it allows for laws to be made quickly and efficiently in response to changing circumstances, such as an emergency situation, without the need for full parliamentary scrutiny. This can help ensure that laws remain relevant and effective. However, it is important that there is adequate consultation and transparency in the process to prevent any abuse of power.
