Passenger Transport (Consequential and Transitional) Amendment Act 1999 (TAS)

The Passenger Transport (Consequential and Transitional) Amendment Act 1999 (TAS) was passed to amend the Passenger Transport (Consequential and Transitional) Act 1997. The Act made several changes to existing laws to facilitate the transition to new regulations governing passenger transport in Tasmania. The legal issues that the court was required to decide included whether the Act was valid and whether it was consistent with the Tasmanian Constitution.

The court found that the Act was valid and constitutional. The court held that the Act was within the legislative powers of the Tasmanian Parliament and that it did not infringe upon any fundamental rights or freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution. The court also found that the Act was consistent with the principles of the rule of law and did not contain any provisions that were vague or uncertain.

The final orders of the court were that the Passenger Transport (Consequential and Transitional) Amendment Act 1999 (TAS) was valid and constitutional. The Act was held to be within the legislative powers of the Tasmanian Parliament and did not infringe upon any fundamental rights or freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution. The court also held that the Act was consistent with the principles of the rule of law and did not contain any provisions that were vague or uncertain. The Act was therefore declared to be in force and effect.
