defines statutory offence as an offence created by an Act or subordinate instrument or by a provision of an Act or subordinate instrument. A statement of a statutory offence is sufficient if it identifies the provision creating the offence and describes the offence in the words of the provision creating it, or in similar words. Under subclause (3), if a statutory offence states the offence to be committed in alternative ways or any element or part of the offence in the alternative, a charge may state the commission of the offence or element or part of the offence in the alternative.
