We received one formal submission and two informal submissions to CP 255 in support of the proposals to continue providing the relief.

Background

Under the Legislation Act 2003, legislative instruments such as class orders sunset after 10 years unless action is taken to exempt or preserve them. This ensures that legislative instruments like class orders are kept up to date and only remain in force while they are fit for purpose and relevant.
