Amendment of the Apprenticeship Regulations (ACT)

The case involved an application by a party seeking to challenge the amendment of the Apprenticeship Regulations made by the Minister of State for Education. The amendment, which was made under the Apprenticeship Ordinance 1936, involved a change to the amount of money specified in Regulation 3 of the Apprenticeship Regulations. The application was heard by the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the amendment to Regulation 3 was valid and within the powers of the Minister. The court had to consider whether the amendment was consistent with the Apprenticeship Ordinance 1936 and whether the Minister had followed the correct procedures in making the amendment. The court also had to determine whether the amendment was within the scope of the powers granted to the Minister by the Ordinance.

The court found that the amendment was valid and within the powers of the Minister. The court held that the amendment was consistent with the Apprenticeship Ordinance 1936 and that the Minister had followed the correct procedures in making the amendment. The court also found that the amendment was within the scope of the powers granted to the Minister by the Ordinance. The court dismissed the application, holding that the amendment was valid and that the Minister had acted within his powers.

No further orders were made by the court beyond dismissing the application. The amendment to Regulation 3 of the Apprenticeship Regulations made by the Minister of State for Education was held to be valid and within his powers.
