Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities vested in him by the said Act, and of all other powers and authorities in this behalf vested in him, and acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby revoke that portion of the Second Schedule to the said Order in Council under the heading “(b.) Employer’s Policy, Table S,” and in lieu thereof doth hereby order and direct that the rates contained in the Schedule hereto shall be the rates of premium for insuring employers against their liability under the Workers’ Compensation Act, 1908, the Workers’ Compensation Amendment Act, 1911, and at common law, in respect of accidents to workers employed by them; and doth hereby order that this present Order in Council shall take effect on and after the first day of March, one thousand nine hundred and twelve.
