four schedules:

    reflect the new short title of the Federal Magistrates Act 1999 as the Federal Circuit
    Court of Australia Act 1999.

    Circuit Court of Australia' for `Federal Magistrates Court' wherever it appears in the Acts
    listed in Schedule 2.
·   Schedule 3 of the Bill includes contingent amendments to a number of Bills which are
    currently before Parliament that make reference to the Federal Magistrates Court or
    Federal Magistrates. Commencement of these contingent amendments will be subject to
    passage and commencement of the relevant Bills.

    transfer of appropriated money. Schedule 4 also makes clear that provisions in the Bill do
    not limit the operation of section 7 of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901.

continuity of arrangements for functions exercised by Federal Magistrates in their personal
capacity under Commonwealth legislation and the transfer of appropriated money.
