Northern Ireland Orders in Council 1987- present
Northern Ireland Orders in Council are UK Statutory Instruments. These Orders in Council equate to primary legislation which might have been enacted by the previous Northern Ireland Parliament and Assembly or for which powers were not devolved to the new Northern Ireland Assembly in 1999. During a period of suspension of devolved government in Northern Ireland, legislation that would normally be passed by the Northern Ireland Assembly may also be made by Order in Council.

Statutory Rules of Northern Ireland 1991- present
The Statutory Rules contain the main body of secondary legislation. From 1922 until 1972 they were known as the NI Statutory Rules and Orders but from 1973 they became the NI Statutory Rules. The S.R.s are the rules, regulations and orders made by the NI rule making authorities and are the equivalent of the UK Statutory Instruments. For example:

Road Traffic (Traffic Wardens) Order (Northern Ireland) 1999

Motor Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1999
