It likely reflects a major industry restructure—either winding up the Corporation, merging it with other bodies, or shifting its functions to a different legal model. For wool growers, this means the specific rules about how their research levies were managed and spent under these regulations no longer applied."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/wool-research-and-development-corporation-regulations-repeal","history":"/api/acts/wool-research-and-development-corporation-regulations-repeal/history","analysis":"/api/acts/wool-research-and-development-corporation-regulations-repeal/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/wool-research-and-development-corporation-regulations-repeal/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/wool-research-and-development-corporation-regulations-repeal/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/wool-research-and-development-corporation-regulations-repeal/documents"}}
