And whereas section 11 (1) (a) of the Rating Act 1967 requires a change from a land value rating system to a capital value rating system to be made pursuant to a special order:

And whereas the said resolution passed by the council on the 28th day of March 1988 was not a resolution to make the necessary special order:

And whereas the council purported to hold a special meeting on the 31st day of March 1988 at which it purported to pass the necessary resolution:

And whereas the notice by which the meeting held on the 31st day of March 1988 was called was given less than 2 clear days before that date and thus was not in accordance with section 111 (2) of the Local Government Act 1974 (which requires a notice by which a special meeting is called to be given to every member of the council not less than 2 clear days before the day appointed for the meeting):

And whereas the resolution that the council purported to pass at the meeting held on the 31st day of March 1988 is accordingly invalid:

Now, therefore, pursuant to section 719 of the Local Government Act 1974, His Excellency the Administrator of the Government, acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council, hereby makes the following order.

Order

1. Title and commencement—(1) This order may be cited as the Wellington City Council (Rating Resolution Validation) Order 1988.

(2) This order shall come into force on the day after the date of its publication in the Gazette.

2. Validation—Both—

(a) The special meeting that the council purported to hold on the 31st day of March 1988 for the purpose of implementing the council's decision with regard to its rating system; and

(b) The resolution which the council purported to pass at that meeting and which provides that, as from the 1st day of April 1988, the system of rating for the City of Wellington shall be on a capital value basis—

are hereby declared to be and to have always been as valid as they would have been if the notice calling the meeting held on the 31st day of March 1988 had been given to every member of the council not less than 2 clear days before that date.

MARIE SHROFF, Clerk of the Executive Council.
