Delegated Legislation in Australia, 5th edition provides updated and detailed coverage of all aspects of subordinate legislation, and is an essential reference for legislators, public officials at all levels of government, judicial officers and lawyers. It is the latest addition to the LexisNexis Black and Silver series. Legislation made by various government and other bodies under the authority of an Act of Parliament far exceeds in volume the legislation made by Parliament in the form of statutes. Delegated Legislation in Australia includes a comprehensive overview of why and how delegated legislation is used to impose obligations on both citizens and business, and in what forms such legislation takes. Commentary is provided for each Australian jurisdiction as to the means used by Parliament to review the content of the legislation, and assess and compare the performance of each parliament. Updated material in this edition includes discussion of parliamentary committees, including the effect of the abolition of the Scrutiny of Legislation Committee in Queensland, and the effect of the operation of the new Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights. There is also updated discussion in relation to judicial review, including analysis of a number of new court decisions and the element of proportionality as a ground of review.

Examples include: Nielsen v Dysart Timbers Ltd (2009) (lapse and termination of offers); Vector Gas Ltd v Bay of Plenty Energy Ltd (2010) and Wholesale Distributors Ltd v Gibbons Holdings Ltd (2008) (use of prior negotiations and subsequent conduct in the interpretation of contracts); Attorney-General of Belize v Belize Telecom Ltd (2009) (implication of terms); Tercon Contractors Ltd v British Columbia (2010) (exclusion of liability); Laidlaw v Parsonage (2010) (privity of contract); Sunset Terraces (2011) (privity and third party claims in negligence); Gustav and Co Ltd v Macfield Ltd (2008) (unconscionable bargains); S B Properties Ltd v Holdgate (2011) (assignment of the burden of a contract); Ingram and Knee v Patcroft Properties Ltd (2011) and Mana Property Trustees Ltd v James Development Ltd (2010) (cancellation of contracts); Golden Strait Corporation v Nippon Yusen Kubishika Kaisa (2007) (damages); and Transfield Shipping Inc v Mercator Shipping Inc (The Achilleas) (2009) (remoteness of damage). New legislation also has been enacted. In particular, chapter 8 has been substantially revised in the light of the requirements of the Property Law Act 2007; and the discussion of limitation of actions in chapter 21 now includes the provisions of the Limitation Act 2010. All of the chapters have been revised and updated to take account of these and other developments. Examples where there have been recent and helpful decisions include the discussions of certainty of contract, of conditional contracts after Steele v Serepisos, of misrepresentation and the Fair Trading Act, and of undue influence in the light of Royal Bank of Scotland v Etridge.
