Disallowance alerts

The Disallowance Alert lists all instruments subject to a notice of motion for disallowance (whether at the instigation of the committee or an individual member). The progress and eventual outcome of any such notice is also recorded. Section 41 of the Interpretation Act 1987 provides the framework for the standard disallowance process, which is supported by standing order 82. For more information regarding the disallowance process, see NSW Legislative Council Practice, Second Edition, Chapter 18.
