(1)Any person interpreting the LRA must take this Code into account.

 

(2)Any interpretation of this Code must promote the spirit, purport and objects of the constitutional rights which are implicated by section 77. The Code may not be interpreted as imposing any unconstitutional limitation on the right to protest action as provided for in the LRA or applied in a way that undermines the right to protest action.

 

(3) This Code is intentionally general as circumstances may differ and departure from its norms, subject to the requirements of the LRA, may be justified in appropriate circumstances.
