When a government department faces urgent, unforeseen costs that weren't in the original annual budget, the Finance Minister (or their delegate) can approve extra money immediately without waiting for Parliament to pass new legislation.\n\n**Who approved it:**\nA senior official from the Department of Finance and Administration, acting as a delegate of the Finance Minister, made this determination."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-section-11-of-appropriation-act-no-1-2000-2001-no-32-of-2000-2001","history":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-section-11-of-appropriation-act-no-1-2000-2001-no-32-of-2000-2001/history","analysis":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-section-11-of-appropriation-act-no-1-2000-2001-no-32-of-2000-2001/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-section-11-of-appropriation-act-no-1-2000-2001-no-32-of-2000-2001/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-section-11-of-appropriation-act-no-1-2000-2001-no-32-of-2000-2001/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-section-11-of-appropriation-act-no-1-2000-2001-no-32-of-2000-2001/documents"}}
