It is made under subsection 42J(4) of the Mutual Recognition Act 1992 (s3). The legal obligation falls on the individual or business wanting to operate; the local registration authority is the recipient of the notification. Key terms (for example, “covered activity” and the identity of the local registration authority) are defined in the instrument (s5) and commencement details are in the commencement table (s2)."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/automatic-mutual-recognition-australian-capital-territory-notification-requirement-architect-determi","history":"/api/acts/automatic-mutual-recognition-australian-capital-territory-notification-requirement-architect-determi/history","analysis":"/api/acts/automatic-mutual-recognition-australian-capital-territory-notification-requirement-architect-determi/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/automatic-mutual-recognition-australian-capital-territory-notification-requirement-architect-determi/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/automatic-mutual-recognition-australian-capital-territory-notification-requirement-architect-determi/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/automatic-mutual-recognition-australian-capital-territory-notification-requirement-architect-determi/documents"}}
