At present, irrespective of whether a survey of the land has been carried out, a person purchasing land comprised in a lease is required to pay a survey fee to the Crown if a survey fee had not been paid in respect of the lease.

[1]   Section 141 Proceedings for offences
Omit “section 25” from section 141 (4) (a).
Insert instead “sections 25 and 26”.
[2]   Schedule 3 Savings, transitional and other provisions
Insert at the end of the Schedule with appropriate Part and clause numbering:
  
Part Provision consequent on enactment of Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act (No 2) 2007
Proceedings for offences
Section 141, as amended by the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act (No 2) 2007, does not apply in respect of any alleged offence under section 26 that occurred before that section was so amended.
Explanatory note
Proceedings for offences under the Police Integrity Commission Act 1996 (the Act) must generally be commenced not more than 6 months after the date of the alleged offence. However, section 141 (4) of the Act provides that proceedings for certain offences (including offences against section 25 of the Act) may be commenced within 3 years of the date of the alleged offence.
Section 26 of the Act provides that the Police Integrity Commission may require a person to attend a specified place for the purpose of producing a specified document or other thing in relation to an investigation it is conducting. This provision is similar to section 25 of the Act which deals with the Commission’s power to obtain information from a public authority or public official.
Item [1] of the proposed amendments provides that proceedings for an offence under section 26 of the Act may be commenced within 3 years after the commission of the alleged offence, which is consistent with the time for commencing proceedings in respect of an offence under section 25 of the Act. The rationale for extending the period for commencing proceedings for an offence under section 26 of the Act is that, as with proceedings under section 25 of the Act, commencement of proceedings before the Police Integrity Commission has completed an investigation can prejudice its further conduct of the investigation.
Item [2] of the proposed amendments is a transitional provision that makes it clear that the proposed amendment to section 141 does not apply in respect of alleged offences under section 26 that occurred prior to the commencement of the proposed amendments.
Section 13K Conversions, purchases, extensions of term, subdivisions etc
Omit “before taking any action to give effect to the sale or purchase” from section 13K (2A).
Explanatory note
At present under Part 4A of the Crown Lands Act 1989, the Minister can impose restrictions on use or public positive covenants in connection with the sale of Crown land. Any such restriction on use or covenant is imposed in connection with section 88D or section 88E of the Conveyancing Act 1919. Section 13K (2A) of the Real Property Act 1900 requires the Registrar-General to record such restrictions or covenants on the relevant title before taking any action to give effect to the sale or purchase.
A restriction or covenant is imposed in accordance with section 88D in the case where the Crown land is still owned by the Crown. If the land is no longer held by the Crown, the restriction or covenant is imposed in accordance with section 88E. However, the Registrar-General does not, in the case of a section 88E restriction or covenant, have the opportunity to record the restriction or covenant on the relevant title because the sale of the land has already occurred.
The proposed amendment to the Real Property Act 1900 will mean the Registrar-General can record restrictions on use or public positive covenants imposed in connection with the sale of Crown land regardless of whether the land is still owned by the Crown.
Section 88 Applications to Tribunal about new or amended park rules
Omit section 88 (5) and (6).
Explanatory note
Section 88 (5) of the Residential Parks Act 1998 (the Act) requires that, if an application is made to the Consumer, Trader and Tenancy Tribunal (the Tribunal) to resolve a dispute in relation to new or amended residential park rules, the Tribunal must, within 30 days of receiving the application, give written notice of its decision. Section 88 (6) of the Act requires that the notice be given to the applicants and the park owner. Section 88 (5) originally applied to a Park Disputes Committee for each residential park. Such committees were abolished by the Residential Parks Amendment (Statutory Review) Act 2005 and their functions transferred to the Tribunal.
Sections 28 and 49 of the Consumer, Trader and Tenancy Tribunal Act 2001 contain specific provisions relating to the procedure of the Tribunal and the time within which notice of its decisions must be given. The proposed amendment repeals section 88 (5) and (6) of the Residential Parks Act 1998 to make it clear that those specific provisions in the Consumer, Trader and Tenancy Tribunal Act 2001 govern the proceedings of the Tribunal in relation to disputes about residential park rules.
[1]   Section 7 Offence of carrying on unauthorised security activities
Omit “licence, and” from section 7 (1) (b).
Insert instead “licence.”
[2]   Section 7 (1) (c)
Omit the paragraph.
[3]   Section 16 Restrictions on granting licence—criminal and other related history
Omit section 16 (4).
Explanatory note
Amendments relating to employment of unlicensed persons
Section 7 (1) (c) of the Security Industry Act 1997 (the Act) currently provides that it is an offence for a person who is the holder of a master licence to employ or provide persons to carry on security activities unless each of the persons employed or provided is the holder of a licence under the Act.
Section 39 of the Act also provides that the holder of a master licence must not employ any person to carry on any security activity unless the person is the holder of a licence.
Item [2] of the proposed amendments omits section 7 (1) (c) of the Act to remove that offence on the basis that it is substantially the same as the offence under section 39 of the Act. Item [1] makes a consequential amendment.
Amendment relating to mandatory refusal of applications for master licences
Currently, section 16 (4) of the Act and clause 16 (1) (a) of the Security Industry Regulation 2007 both provide mandatory grounds for the refusal of an application for a master licence in respect of bankrupt persons (either as an applicant or, in the case of an applicant that is a corporation, any person involved in the management of the corporation).
Under section 16 (4) of the Act, the Commissioner of Police must refuse to grant an application for a master licence if the Commissioner is of the opinion that the applicant (or, if the applicant is a corporation, any person who is a director or who is concerned in the management of the corporation) has been declared bankrupt within the period of 5 years before the date of the application.
Clause 16 (1) (a) of the Security Industry Regulation 2007 also provides that the Commissioner must refuse to grant an application for a master licence if the applicant (or a close associate of the applicant, including a person holding office as a director, manager or other executive position or a person with power to participate in directional, managerial or executive decisions of the applicant) at any time in the 3 years before the application was made was an undischarged bankrupt or applied to take benefit of any law for the relief of bankrupt or insolvent debtors (unless the Commissioner is satisfied that the person took all reasonable steps to avoid the bankruptcy).
Item [3] of the proposed amendments omits section 16 (4) of the Act to remove this existing duplication in relation to the mandatory grounds for refusing applications for master licences by persons who are, or have been, bankrupt. The amendment will, in effect, reduce from 5 years to 3 years the period within which a person who has been declared bankrupt may be granted a master licence after being declared bankrupt.

17   Approvals of Chairperson of the Board of Tick Control
An approval given by the Chairperson of the Board of Tick Control under section 7 or 18 before the amendment of those sections by the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act (No 2) 2007 is taken, on that amendment, to have been given by the Director-General.
Explanatory note

Explanatory note
Section 6 (1) of the Succession Act 2006 (the Act) requires a will to be signed by the testator or by some other person in the presence of and at the direction of the testator. Item [1] of the proposed amendments makes it clear that the signature of a person signing in the presence and at the direction of the testator must be made with the intention of executing the will but that it is not essential that it be at the foot of the will.
Section 11 (1) (a) of the Act currently suggests that the only way to revoke the whole or part of a will by authority of an order under section 16 or 18 of the Act is by making another will. However, the Court may make an order authorising revocation to take place in other ways under those sections. Item [2] replaces section 11 (1) (a) and items [4] and [5] amend section 16 of the Act to make it clear that a will may be revoked in whole or in part by a will or by other means, if authorised by, and done in compliance with, such an order.
Section 14 of the Act sets out the ways in which a will may be altered. Item [3] of the proposed amendments clarifies the section by setting out the circumstances in which section 14 (1) has no application.
Items [4]–[6] also make amendments to ensure consistency of expression in, and between, sections 16 and 18 of the Act.
Item [6] amends section 21 of the Act (which enables the Court to have regard to information given to the Court in support of an application) to make it clear that the information referred to is that specified in section 19.
Item [7] amends section 31 of the Act to correct a typographical error.
Items [9] and [10] amend section 41 of the Act which currently operates as an exception to the lapse rule contained in section 35 of the Act in circumstances where a beneficiary, who is the issue of the testator, fails to survive the testator for 30 days but leaves issue who do survive the testator for this period. The proposed amendment extends the exception to circumstances where a period of 30 days, or some other period for survival, appears in the will. Item [8] is a consequential amendment.
At present the exception does not apply if the original beneficiary does not fulfil a condition imposed on the original beneficiary in the will or a contrary intention appears in the will. Item [11] replaces section 41 (3) so that the exception will not apply if a contrary intention appears in the will. Item [13] makes a consequential amendment to section 41 (5). Item [12] omits section 41 (4) which currently indicates that a general requirement or condition that issue survive the testator or reach a specified age does not indicate such a contrary intention.
Item [14] amends section 54 of the Act to require the person having possession or control of the will of a deceased person to allow the issue (not only the children) of the deceased person to inspect or be given copies of the will.
Item [15] enables the making of savings and transitional regulations.
Items [16] and [17] replace transitional provisions concerning the application of provisions of the Act.
Items [18], [19] and [20] make amendments to new section 92A as to be inserted in the Wills, Probate and Administration Act 1898 by Schedule 2 to the Succession Act 2006 so that the section will be consistent with section 41 as proposed to be amended by items [9] and [10].
Item [21] amends new section 92A so that a defined term is used consistently in the section.
Item [22] repeals section 36B of the Conveyancing Act 1919. It has been replaced by section 34 of the Succession Act 2006. Item [23] provides for the making of savings and transitional regulations and continues the application of the repealed section to certain wills and instruments.
Section 9A
Insert after section 9:
  
9A   Protection from personal liability
(1)  Any matter or thing done or omitted to be done by a person who is the Chairperson or an appointed member of a local land board does not, if the matter or thing was done or omitted in good faith for the purpose of exercising a function under this or any other Act, make the person personally liable to any action, claim or demand in respect of that matter or thing.
(2)  However, any such liability attaches instead to the Crown.
