Proclamation under the Conveyancing Act 2004 (TAS)

This proclamation establishes that the Conveyancing Act 2004 in Tasmania will commence on 1 September 2005. The Governor of Tasmania, acting on the advice of the Executive Council, made this proclamation under section 2 of the Conveyancing Act 2004. The proclamation was displayed, numbered, and notified in the Gazette on 31 August 2005, and is administered by the Department of Justice.

The court was not required to determine any legal issues in this case as the proclamation is a legislative instrument rather than a judicial decision. The proclamation sets a specific date for the commencement of the Conveyancing Act 2004, which was enacted to streamline and modernise the conveyancing process in Tasmania. The court's role was limited to acknowledging and promulgating the proclamation, as it was issued under the authority granted by the Act itself.

The proclamation is a straightforward administrative action that fixes the commencement date for the Conveyancing Act 2004. The Governor's role was to act on the advice of the Executive Council and issue the proclamation as required by the Act. The Department of Justice is responsible for administering the proclamation, ensuring that it is displayed, numbered, and notified in the Gazette as mandated.

No further orders were required as the proclamation was a legislative instrument that did not involve any judicial decision-making. The proclamation simply sets the date for the commencement of the Act, which will then govern the conveyancing process in Tasmania.
