Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

These Regulations add the Asian and Pacific Development Centre to the list of bodies covered by the International Organizations (Privileges and Immunities) Act 1963 and give the Centre corporate legal personality: perpetual succession, the ability to enter contracts, hold and dispose of property, and to sue or be sued in its own name. That changes how the Centre interacts with Australian law and with private parties: its transactions and disputes will be conducted by the entity as a legal person, and the privileges and immunities in the Act will apply to it.
