Administrative Arrangements Order (No. 2) 2010 (TAS)

The Administrative Arrangements Order (No. 2) 2010 was made by the Governor of Tasmania under the Administrative Arrangements Act 1990. The Order assigns to various Ministers the administration of certain enactments, and specifies the departments responsible for the administration of those enactments. The legal issues were whether the Governor had the authority to make the Order and whether the Order was valid and properly exercised. The Court found that the Governor had the authority to make the Order and that the Order was valid and properly exercised. The Order was made under the authority of section 4(1) of the Administrative Arrangements Act 1990 and was in accordance with the advice of the Executive Council. The Court also found that the Order did not exceed the powers of the Governor and was not contrary to any other law. The final orders were that the Administrative Arrangements Order (No. 2) 2010 was valid and properly made.
