SCRUTINY OF BILLS AND SUBORDINATE LEGISLATION - STANDING COMMITTEE

Report and Statement

MS MAHER, by leave: Mr Speaker, I present the following report:

Scrutiny of Bills and Subordinate Legislation - Standing Committee - Report No. 13 of 1990, dated 30 August 1990 -

The report I have just tabled details the committee's comments on the Domestic Violence (Amendment) Bill (No. 2) 1990 and the Door-To-Door Trading Bill 1990. This report was circulated to members on 13 August 1990, pursuant to paragraph 5 of the committee's resolution of appointment. I commend the report to the Assembly.

LEGAL AFFAIRS - STANDING COMMITTEE

Reference - Statement by Chairman

MR STEFANIAK, by leave: On 3 May 1990, I informed the Assembly that the Standing Committee on Legal Affairs had adopted a reference on defamation law. After consultation with a committee set up by Mr Collaery, who had a similar brief, and with Mr Justice Kelly, the chairman of that committee, we redefined our terms of reference. I now wish to inform the Assembly that the committee has adopted the following specific terms of reference for this inquiry so that there is no duplication between committees. The terms of reference are:

To inquire into and report on:

(1) the incidence of defamation litigation in the ACT;

(2) the financial costs to the community, organisations and individuals of defamation litigation in the ACT;
