Delays Hit ACT Old Car Sales Law Draft
In the ACT the proposed ordinance to regulate second hand motor vehicles and parts has stalled between the Department of the Capital Territory and the Attorney-General's Department. A spokesman said final preparation of the ordinance depends on staff, with earlier drafts discussed by the Consumer Affairs Council and Advisory Council and later sent to the Attorney General for final form. The measure would have required warranties on vehicles sold for 500 or more and bound sellers to accurate descriptions and history.
