This ensures there is no legal 'limbo' where a defunct body technically still exists but performs no function.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nGovernment agencies don't automatically disappear when their work finishes. This declaration tidies up the statute books by formally abolishing the Authority, clarifying that it no longer has any legal powers, responsibilities, or existence."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/dairy-produce-closure-of-dairy-adjustment-authority-declaration-2008","history":"/api/acts/dairy-produce-closure-of-dairy-adjustment-authority-declaration-2008/history","analysis":"/api/acts/dairy-produce-closure-of-dairy-adjustment-authority-declaration-2008/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/dairy-produce-closure-of-dairy-adjustment-authority-declaration-2008/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/dairy-produce-closure-of-dairy-adjustment-authority-declaration-2008/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/dairy-produce-closure-of-dairy-adjustment-authority-declaration-2008/documents"}}
