Statute Law Amendment Act 2014 (No 2) (ACT)

The Statute Law Amendment Act 2014 (No 2) (ACT) was passed by the Legislative Assembly to amend various pieces of legislation for the purpose of statute law revision. The Act included minor amendments to the Health Records (Privacy and Access) Act 1997 and the Lifetime Care and Support (Catastrophic Injuries) Act 2014, as well as technical amendments to the Legislation Act 2001 and other statutes. The main legal issue before the court was whether the amendments made to the various statutes by the Act were valid and consistent with the purpose of statute law revision. The court found that the amendments were valid and consistent with the purpose of statute law revision, and therefore upheld the Act. The court noted that the amendments were made to improve the quality of the statute law of the Territory and to update language in line with current legislative drafting practice. The court also noted that the amendments did not substantively change the existing policy on working out periods of time or any other substantive legal issue.
