Lox, the process of challenging delegated legislation depends (mostly)on interpretation of the enabling legislation. This bill confers on the minister the power to repeal primary legislation. Gettit?

Have you considered the enrolled bill rule?

You want to rely on the vague possibility that a court may say that a minister did not have power to repeal (whatever)?

Do not hand your enemy a stick and then hope that he will not use it.
