It doesn't create new rules; it simply removes an old declaration that has become redundant."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/mineral-resources-development-revocation-order-2005","history":"/api/acts/mineral-resources-development-revocation-order-2005/history","analysis":"/api/acts/mineral-resources-development-revocation-order-2005/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/mineral-resources-development-revocation-order-2005/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/mineral-resources-development-revocation-order-2005/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/mineral-resources-development-revocation-order-2005/documents"}}
