The proclamation was made under the Credit (Commonwealth Powers) (Transitional and Consequential Provisions) Act 2009 by the Governor of Tasmania, Peter G. Underwood, on 17 May 2010. The proclamation sets the commencement date of the Act as 1 July 2010 and was made with the advice of the Executive Council. The proclamation was administered by the Department of Justice and was published in the Government Gazette on 26 May 2010.

The legal issues in this case involved the interpretation and application of the Credit (Commonwealth Powers) (Transitional and Consequential Provisions) Act 2009, specifically in relation to the commencement date of the Act. The proclamation was made to ensure that the provisions of the Act would come into effect on a specified date, and the Explanatory Note clarifies that the proclamation is not part of the Act itself.

The court's reasoning and outcome in this case were not explicitly stated in the text provided. However, it can be inferred that the proclamation was made in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Act and that the court would have likely upheld the proclamation if challenged. The proclamation was made with the advice of the Executive Council, indicating that the decision was made in accordance with the proper legal processes.

No final orders were made in this case as the proclamation was not challenged in court. However, the proclamation was published in the Government Gazette and is considered a valid legal document. The proclamation ensures that the provisions of the Credit (Commonwealth Powers) (Transitional and Consequential Provisions) Act 2009 will come into effect on 1 July 2010, as intended by the legislature.
