Building (Amendment) Act (No 2) 1991 (ACT)

In the case of Building (Amendment) Act (No 2) 1991, the parties involved were not explicitly mentioned in the provided text. The nature of the dispute was the amendment of the Building Act 1972, and the court involved was the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory. The Building (Amendment) Act (No 2) 1991 aimed to amend the Building Act 1972 by introducing changes to the building regulations and codes in the Australian Capital Territory. The primary legal issues the court was required to decide involved the interpretation and application of the amended Building Act 1972, as well as the implications of the new Building Code and its relationship with existing permits, notices, plans, and other instruments.

The court's reasoning and outcome involved an examination of the amended Building Act 1972 and its provisions, particularly focusing on the new Building Code and its impact on the existing regulations. The court determined that the amended Act would apply to new building work carried out after the commencement of the Act, while existing permits, notices, plans, and other instruments would continue to be governed by the previous Building Act 1972 until they expired or were otherwise superseded. The court also considered the implications of the new Building Code on the existing regulatory framework and ensured that the amended Act would not adversely affect ongoing building projects or compliance with existing regulations.

In conclusion, the court found that the Building (Amendment) Act (No 2) 1991 was valid and enforceable, and that it would provide a more streamlined and updated regulatory framework for building work in the Australian Capital Territory. The final orders of the court would have been to enact the amended Building Act 1972, including the new Building Code, and to ensure that the amended Act would apply to new building work carried out after its commencement, while existing permits, notices, plans, and other instruments would continue to be governed by the previous Building Act 1972 until they expired or were otherwise superseded.
