Terms of Reference:

On Sunday, January 23 2005 the Parliament of Western Australia was prorogued. This had the effect of terminating all the current business of Parliament. This means that the sittings of Parliament cease and all pending proceedings are quashed. As parliamentary committees are an extension of the Parliament, the Committee's inquiry into these bills ceased.

On November 24 2004 the Legislative Council referred the Limitation Bill 2004 and Limitation Legislation Amendment and Repeal Bill 2004 to the Standing Committee on Legislation for inquiry and report.
