State Service (Agencies and Heads of Agencies) Order 2009 (TAS)

In the case of State Service (Agencies and Heads of Agencies) Order 2009, the Governor of Tasmania issued an order under section 12 of the State Service Act 2000 to revise and replace Schedule 1 of the Act, which lists the various government departments and authorities in Tasmania along with their respective heads. The order was made on the advice of the Executive Council and came into effect on 1 July 2009. This legislative instrument was published in the Gazette on the same date and is administered by the Department of Premier and Cabinet.

The court was not required to decide any legal issues as this case involved a legislative order rather than a dispute between parties. The order itself does not raise any legal questions but instead serves to update and clarify the list of government departments and authorities in Tasmania and their heads. The order was made to ensure that the State Service Act 2000 reflects the current structure of the Tasmanian government.

The court's role in this case was limited to verifying the validity and proper execution of the order. The Governor, acting with the advice of the Executive Council, has the authority under section 12 of the State Service Act 2000 to make such orders. The order was made in accordance with the rules and procedures set out in the Rules Publication Act 1953, and it was published in the Gazette as required.

No final orders were made by the court as this case did not involve a dispute between parties. The State Service (Agencies and Heads of Agencies) Order 2009 serves to update and clarify the list of government departments and authorities in Tasmania and their heads, as well as to repeal and replace the previous Schedule 1 of the State Service Act 2000. The order came into effect on 1 July 2009 and is administered by the Department of Premier and Cabinet.
