It's like having an emergency credit card for the budget, though it still requires formal paperwork like this determination.\n\n**Who decided this:**\nPhillip Prior, a Branch Manager in the Department of Finance, acting under delegation from the Finance Minister."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-section-11-of-appropriation-act-no-2-2000-2001-no-20-of-2000-2001","history":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-section-11-of-appropriation-act-no-2-2000-2001-no-20-of-2000-2001/history","analysis":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-section-11-of-appropriation-act-no-2-2000-2001-no-20-of-2000-2001/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-section-11-of-appropriation-act-no-2-2000-2001-no-20-of-2000-2001/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-section-11-of-appropriation-act-no-2-2000-2001-no-20-of-2000-2001/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-section-11-of-appropriation-act-no-2-2000-2001-no-20-of-2000-2001/documents"}}
