Chapter 15 - Delegated
legislation and disallowance
Effect of end of a
Parliament or session
As has been noted above, the LIA, s. 42(3)
contains an important safeguard to ensure that the opportunity to disallow a legislative
instrument is not lost when a Parliament or a session ends. As explained in
Chapter 7, either of those occurrences terminates the business before the
Senate, including notices of motion. An unresolved disallowance notice,
however, results in the instrument in question being deemed to be tabled again
on the first sitting day of the next session, so that disallowance action may
start afresh.
