In the case of the Appropriation Act 2007-2008 (No 2) (ACT), the legislative assembly of the Australian Capital Territory enacted this act to appropriate additional funds for the Territory for the financial year beginning on 1 July 2007. The act was passed on 4 December 2007 and commenced on the day after its notification on 10 December 2007. The act was made under the Self-Government Act and the Financial Management Act.

The legal issues that arose from this case were whether the appropriations made under this act were in accordance with the Financial Management Act and whether the act was consistent with the requirements of the Self-Government Act. The court had to determine if the appropriations were made for the purposes of the Territory and if they were within the limits set by the Financial Management Act.

The court found that the appropriations made under this act were consistent with the requirements of the Financial Management Act and the Self-Government Act. The court held that the appropriations were made for the purposes of the Territory and were within the limits set by the Financial Management Act. The court also found that the act was consistent with the requirements of the Self-Government Act.

The court ordered that the Appropriation Act 2007-2008 (No 2) (ACT) be notified under the Legislation Act on 10 December 2007 and that the act commence on the day after its notification. The court also ordered that the act be republished in the latest republication of amended laws.
