The document satisfies the legal requirement to provide written notice of the decision and cites the specific clauses that authorise the approval (clause 6 and paragraph 11(1) of Schedule 1A)."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-3-of-2010","history":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-3-of-2010/history","analysis":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-3-of-2010/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-3-of-2010/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-3-of-2010/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-vet-provider-approval-no-3-of-2010/documents"}}
