Commercial and Consumer Tribunal Bill 2003
COMMERCIAL AND CONSUMER
TRIBUNAL BILL 2003
EXPLANATORY NOTES
AMENDMENTS IN COMMITTEE
This first clause makes clear that the chief executive under the Property
Agents and Motor Dealers Act 2000 will retain their current right of appeal
from tribunal decisions on a question of law. The Bill provides that only a
party to a proceeding may appeal a tribunal decision but was not clear on
whether the chief executive would in fact be a party in all proceedings.
This second clause amends a division heading in the Bill.
This third clause makes an amendment in the Dictionary to the Bill to
clarify the definition of a "State agency". Previously the definition of State
agency was confined to matters in relation to a disciplinary or review
proceeding. This definition inadvertently excluded matters such as a public
examination, to which a State agency would also be a party. This
amendment also clarifies that a stop order or suspension order need not be
sought only for a disciplinary or review proceeding, as was the case under
the Bill as introduced.
