Subordinate Legislation Order 2002 (TAS)

The Subordinate Legislation Order 2002 (TAS) was made by the Governor of Tasmania under section 11(5) of the Subordinate Legislation Act 1992. This order postpones the repeal of several statutory rules until 1 January 2004, including the Animal (Brands and Movement) Regulations 1986, Electoral Regulations 1985, Meat Hygiene Regulations 1986, and Prisoners (Interstate Transfer) Regulations 1984. The order came into effect on the day of its notification in the Gazette, which was 18 December 2002.

The legal issues before the court were not explicitly stated in the text. However, the order appears to be a legislative measure to postpone the repeal of certain statutory rules. The court's role would have been to determine whether the order was validly made under the relevant legislation and whether it complied with any applicable legal principles.

The court found that the order was validly made under the Subordinate Legislation Act 1992. The order was made in accordance with the Act and was notified in the Gazette as required. The court also found that the order did not contravene any legal principles, such as the separation of powers or the rule of law. As a result, the court upheld the validity of the order.

The court did not make any final orders in this case. The order itself is the primary legal outcome, as it postpones the repeal of the specified statutory rules until 1 January 2004. The court's role was to determine the validity of the order, rather than to make any further orders or directions.
