It therefore affects holders of those NT licences/registrations, who become subject to the notification requirement and any related administrative compliance costs; the Treasurer decides which registrations are listed (s42J(4))."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/mutual-recognition-automatic-deemed-registration-notification-northern-territory-determination-2022-","history":"/api/acts/mutual-recognition-automatic-deemed-registration-notification-northern-territory-determination-2022-/history","analysis":"/api/acts/mutual-recognition-automatic-deemed-registration-notification-northern-territory-determination-2022-/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/mutual-recognition-automatic-deemed-registration-notification-northern-territory-determination-2022-/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/mutual-recognition-automatic-deemed-registration-notification-northern-territory-determination-2022-/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/mutual-recognition-automatic-deemed-registration-notification-northern-territory-determination-2022-/documents"}}
