This manual provides a basic guide to the CNL, and is intended to be useful in making the structure, rules and operations of new and existing co-operatives comply with this legislation. It is not intended to be a comprehensive statement of the CNL. In all cases where there is a variation between the wording in this manual and the wording in the CNL, the wording of the CNL applies.
Each jurisdiction that adopts the CNL will do so with specific application and modifications or under alternative consistent legislation. Persons interested in the legislation as it applies in those jurisdictions should access the relevant legislative database for that jurisdiction. If you are unsure of how the law or regulations apply, we encourage you to seek assistance from the Registrar of Co-operatives in your jurisdiction or obtain independent legal advice.
