Commonwealth Consolidated Acts Commonwealth Consolidated Acts(1) Subject to subsection (2), during the transition period for a regulated principal, the relevant old legislation (if any) continues to apply, despite its repeal:
(a) to, and in relation to, the regulated principal and their regulated activities; and
(b) to any other person to whom it is expressed to apply, but only in relation to matters related to the regulated principal and their regulated activities.
Note: So, for example, people may continue to be appointed as agents or representatives of the regulated principal (or to have those appointments varied or revoked) during the transition period under provisions of the relevant old legislation that deal with such matters.
(2) If, because of subsection 1431(2), the relevant new legislation (within the meaning of subsection 1431(1)) starts to apply to part of a person's regulated activities from a particular time, the relevant old legislation (if any) stops applying, from that time, in relation to that part of those activities.
