Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This regulation applies the International Organizations (Privileges and Immunities) Act 1963 to CAB International (s.3) and gives CAB International corporate personality and basic legal capacities: to contract, hold and dispose of property, and sue or be sued in its name (s.4). Made by the Governor‑General with Federal Executive Council advice, it mechanically enables CAB International to operate in Australia under the Act. That change affects CAB International, its commercial and property counterparties, and public agencies that interact with or regulate it.
