Section 1 - Short Title

In response to a submission that the Act was not properly enacted, Hargrave P. applied the proposition (pp. 5313 and 5314) that "'it is a matter of elementary law that when a statute appears on its face to have been duly passed by a competent legislature, the Courts must assume that all things have been rightly done in respect of its passage through the legislature, and cannot entertain any argument that there is a defect of Parliamentary procedure lying behind the Act as a matter of fact.'"
