Court Procedures Regulation 2004 

Outline

The Crown Proceedings Act 1992 provides that the regulations may declare a law to be a ‘corresponding law’.  The Act then binds the ACT to the ‘corresponding laws’.  The Crown Proceedings Regulation 1993 provide that the legislation governing crown proceedings in the Northern Territory, South Australia and Tasmania are declared to be ‘corresponding laws’.

The Crown Proceedings Act 1992 has been consolidated into the Court Procedures Act 2004.  To ensure that the ‘corresponding laws’ remain declared, this regulation remakes the Crown Proceedings Regulation 1993.
