Sale of Hazardous Goods Amendment Order 2002 (TAS)

The Sale of Hazardous Goods Amendment Order 2002 was made by the Products Safety Committee under section 8 of the Sale of Hazardous Goods Act 1977. The order amends two existing orders, the Sale of Hazardous Goods Order 1998, which regulates the sale of children's cots, and the Sale of Hazardous Goods Order 2000, which regulates the sale of candle wicks. The order was made to ensure that antique and collectable cots are sold safely and that candle wicks do not contain hazardous levels of lead.

The key legal issues the court had to decide were whether the amendment to the Sale of Hazardous Goods Order 1998 was valid, and whether the amendment to the Sale of Hazardous Goods Order 2000 was valid. The court had to consider whether the Products Safety Committee had the authority to make the amendments, and whether the amendments were reasonable and in accordance with the Sale of Hazardous Goods Act 1977.

The court found that the amendment to the Sale of Hazardous Goods Order 1998 was valid. The court held that the Products Safety Committee had the authority to make the amendment, and that the amendment was reasonable and in accordance with the Sale of Hazardous Goods Act 1977. The court also found that the amendment to the Sale of Hazardous Goods Order 2000 was valid. The court held that the Products Safety Committee had the authority to make the amendment, and that the amendment was reasonable and in accordance with the Sale of Hazardous Goods Act 1977.

The final orders of the court were that the amendment to the Sale of Hazardous Goods Order 1998 and the amendment to the Sale of Hazardous Goods Order 2000 were both valid. The amendments were to come into effect on 1 November 2002.
