Residential Tenancies (Amendment) Bill 2009

Public bill · Government · Presented

The measure would retrospectively confirm the appointments of certain members of the Residential Tenancies Board’s dispute resolution committee and the proper formation of tenancy tribunals, even if appointment rules had not been followed. It would also validate decisions and other actions taken by those bodies that might otherwise have been legally ineffective solely because of those procedural problems. Any validation would remain subject to protecting people’s constitutional rights.
