A byelaw is a law which is made by a body, such as a local authority, under an enabling power established by an Act of Parliament and which has been confirmed by the Secretary of State. Byelaws generally require something to be done – or not to be done – in a particular location. They are accompanied by a sanction or penalty for non-observance. If validly made, byelaws have the force of law within the areas to which they apply. Offences against byelaws attract a penalty fine which can, at present, only be enforced through the Magistrates’ Courts
I know what you are trying to get at with that definition of a bye-law, & good that you have posted it on here.
But, the phrses 'in a particular location' & 'byelaws have the force of law within the areas to which they apply', although implying that the bye-laws would only relate to the LAs area, are not specific to that meaning.
As usual the vagueness of the law.
The definition does also say, 'Byelaws generally require something to be done – or not to be done' & perhaps using the 'to be done' phrasiology, a bye-law could say, that a Hackney Carriage would only work on a dispatch system based in the area of the licence issuing LA.
