The performance of executorial duties under a will, including the perfecting of specific devises of land, does not constitute the 'provision of services' relating to disposing of an interest in land within the meaning of ss 3 and 22 of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1998 (Tas). Complaints of discrimination in the administration of estates on this basis fall outside the Commissioner's jurisdiction. Where a complaint falls outside the Act's scope, the permissive language of s 64(1) ('may reject') does not confer a discretion to continue investigating — the Commissioner must reject the complaint.
