Statute Law Amendment Act 2009 (ACT)

This case involved the consideration of the Statute Law Amendment Act 2009 (ACT) by the Australian Capital Territory's Legislative Assembly. The purpose of the Act was to improve the quality of the statute law of the Territory by amending legislation for the purpose of statute law revision. The court examined the legal issues involved in the amendments, which included the automatic expiration of notifiable instruments, protection of officials from civil liability, and the correction and extension of naming conventions for legislative instruments. The court found that the Act was valid and necessary for the simplification and modernisation of the statute law of the Territory, and it was subsequently passed by the Legislative Assembly on 18 August 2009.
