subordinate legislation

noun

Comparative law notes

Germany

This phrase is a more accurate description and match to the general German concept of a Verodnung. However, it is a bit awkward to use in most contexts unless the context is actually exploring the nature of a Verordnung. We therefore recommend using "regulation"" as the better translation.
