A quick definition of subordinate legislation:

Subordinate legislation refers to laws that are made by authorities other than the main government and depend on a higher authority for their validity. These laws are also known as regulations. They are different from supreme legislation, which comes directly from the main government and cannot be controlled by any other legislative authority. Local and special legislation only affects specific areas or groups of people, while general legislation applies to everyone. Judicial legislation refers to the creation of new legal rules by judges.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Subordinate legislation is a type of law that is created by an authority other than the main government and depends on a higher authority for its validity. It is also known as regulation.

Examples: Examples of subordinate legislation include rules and regulations created by government agencies, local ordinances, and bylaws created by corporations or organizations. For instance, a city council may create a local ordinance that prohibits smoking in public parks. This ordinance is subordinate legislation because it is created by a local authority and depends on the state government for its validity.

Explanation: Subordinate legislation is created by authorities other than the main government, such as local governments or agencies. It is considered subordinate because it depends on a higher authority for its validity. The examples illustrate how subordinate legislation works in practice. The local ordinance created by a city council is only valid because it is subordinate to state law. If the state government were to repeal the law that allows local governments to create ordinances, the city council's ordinance would no longer be valid.
