Differences between Supreme Legislation and Subordinate Legislation are as follows:
Supreme Legislation
-
SALMOND defines: “supreme legislation proceeds from the supreme or sovereign power in the state, and which is therefore incapable of being repealed, annulled or controlled by any other legislative authority”.
-
Supreme legislation is one and parliament has the supreme authority.
-
It cannot be repealed, annulled or controlled by any other legislative authority, except parliament.
Subordinate Legislation
-
SALMOND defines: “subordinate legislation is that which proceeds from any authority other than the sovereign power, and is therefore dependent for its continued existence and validity on some superior or supreme authority”.
-
Subordinate legislation is of several kinds. All other forms of legislative activity recognized by the law are subordinate legislation.
-
It can be repealed, annulled or controlled by parliament.
