Transitional provisions Part 2
s. 6
Part 2 -- Transitional provisions
6. National scheme laws
(1) The national scheme laws of this jurisdiction operate of their
own force only in relation to --
5 (a) matters arising before the relevant time; and
(b) matters arising, directly or indirectly, out of such
matters,
in so far as those matters are not dealt with by the new
corporations legislation, the new ASIC legislation or the
10 co-operative scheme laws.
(2) Except as provided by subsection (1) and section 9, the national
scheme laws of this jurisdiction have no operation of their own
force at and after the relevant time.
7. Effect of section 6
15 (1) To the extent that a national scheme law of this jurisdiction
ceases to operate of its own force because of section 6, the
effect is that which would have resulted had this Act and that
law been Commonwealth Acts in relation to which the Acts
Interpretation Act 1901 of the Commonwealth as in force on
20 1 November 2000 applied.
Note: Part III of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 of the Commonwealth
contains provisions dealing with the effect of repeal of an Act. These
provisions protect accrued rights and liabilities and allow legal proceedings in
respect of them to be commenced or continued. However, this section and
25 section 9 have the effect of cancelling certain rights and liabilities and
terminating certain legal proceedings.
(2) Despite subsection (1), if by force of Chapter 10 of the new
Corporations Act or Part 16 of the new ASIC Act a person
acquires, accrues or incurs a right or liability in substitution for
30 a pre-commencement right or liability, the pre-commencement
right or liability is cancelled at the relevant time and ceases at
that time to be a right or liability under a law of the State.
page 9
Corporations (Ancillary Provisions) Bill 2001
Part 2 Transitional provisions
s. 7
(3) Despite subsection (1), a proceeding in a court that --
(a) was started before the relevant time; and
(b) was --
(i) under a provision of the old corporations
5 legislation or the old ASIC legislation; or
(ii) brought as, or connected with, a prosecution for an
offence against a provision of the old corporations
legislation or the old ASIC legislation;
and
10 (c) was a proceeding to which section 1383 of the new
Corporations Act or section 267 of the new ASIC Act
applies at the relevant time; and
(d) had not been concluded or terminated before the
relevant time,
15 is terminated at the relevant time by force of this subsection.
(4) Despite subsection (1), if by force of a Commonwealth Act (other
than the new Corporations Act) referred to in sections 1393 to
1396 of the new Corporations Act a person becomes liable to pay
an amount that is the same, and is in respect of the same matter, as
20 an amount (the "pre-commencement amount") that was payable
by the person before the relevant time under a provision of the old
corporations legislation, the person's liability to pay the
pre-commencement amount is cancelled at the relevant time and
ceases at that time to be a liability under a law of the State.
25 (5) In subsection (2) "pre-commencement right or liability"
means a right or liability, whether civil or criminal, other than a
right or liability under an order made by a court before the
relevant time or a liability referred to in section 1397(4) of the
new Corporations Act, that --
30 (a) was acquired, accrued or incurred under --
(i) a carried over provision of the old corporations
legislation or the old ASIC legislation; or
page 10
Corporations (Ancillary Provisions) Bill 2001
Transitional provisions Part 2
s. 8
(ii) a provision of the old corporations legislation or
the old ASIC legislation that was no longer in
force immediately before the relevant time;
and
5 (b) was in existence immediately before the relevant time.
(6) Nothing in this Act revives the co-operative scheme laws or
otherwise affects the superseding of those laws by the national
scheme laws of this jurisdiction as provided by Part 13
Division 2 of the old application Act and any regulations made
10 under section 80 of that Act for the purposes of that Division.
8. Certain provisions of State law taken to operate despite
national scheme law
(1) Any provision of a relevant law of the State that --
(a) makes (or, if not in force, would make on coming into
15 force) provision in relation to a matter in a manner that
is inconsistent with a provision or provisions of a
national scheme law of this jurisdiction; or
(b) but for the operation of section 5 of the old application Act
would have made (or, if not in force, would have made on
20 coming into force) provision in relation to a matter in a
manner that is inconsistent with a provision or provisions
of a national scheme law of this jurisdiction,
is declared by this subsection to have effect despite the
provision or provisions of the national scheme law of this
25 jurisdiction with which it is inconsistent and as if the relevant
law, or (in the case of a relevant law that is not an Act) the Act
under which the relevant law was made, had itself provided
expressly for this outcome.
Note: Section 5G of the Corporations Act 2001 of the Commonwealth applies
30 to a provision of a State law that is inconsistent with a provision of the
Corporations legislation to which Part 1.1A of that Act applies if that provision
operated, immediately before the commencement of that Act, despite the
provision of the old Corporations Law or the old ASIC Law that corresponds
to the Commonwealth provision.
page 11
Corporations (Ancillary Provisions) Bill 2001
Part 2 Transitional provisions
s. 8
(2) Any provision of a relevant law of the State that provides that
the whole of a previous State corporations law or a specified
provision of a previous State corporations law does not apply to
a matter is declared by this subsection to also provide that the
5 whole of the old Corporations Law and the old ASIC Law or the
corresponding provision (if any) of the old Corporations Law or
the old ASIC Law (as the case requires) does not apply to that
matter.
Note: Under section 5F(4) of the Corporations Act 2001 of the
10 Commonwealth if the old Corporations Law or the old ASIC law, or a
provision of that Law, did not apply to a matter immediately before the
commencement of that Act, then the Corporations legislation to which
Part 1.1A of that Act applies, or the corresponding provision of that legislation,
does not apply to the matter.
15 (3) Subsection (1) or (2) does not apply to a provision of a relevant
law of the State (or a class of provision of relevant laws of the
State) specified by the regulations as a provision (or class of
provision) to which the subsection does not apply.
(4) For the purposes of subsection (1), a provision of a relevant law
20 of the State is inconsistent with a provision of a national scheme
law of this jurisdiction if it would be inconsistent within the
meaning of section 109 of the Constitution of the
Commonwealth of Australia if the national scheme law were an
Act of the Commonwealth.
25 (5) Nothing in this section affects the operation of section 6 of the
old application Act in relation to an Act enacted before the
commencement of that section or an instrument made under
such an Act.
(6) In this section --
30 "matter" includes act, omission, body, person or thing;
"relevant law of the State" means a law of the State enacted or
made before the relevant time (whether or not it is in force
before that time) other than a national scheme law of this
jurisdiction or a previous State corporations law.

s. 9
9. Court proceedings and orders
(1) This section applies to a proceeding, whether criminal or civil,
in relation to which the following paragraphs are satisfied --
(a) the proceeding was started in a court before the relevant
5 time; and
(b) the proceeding was --
(i) under a provision of the old corporations
legislation or the old ASIC legislation; or
(ii) brought as, or connected with, a prosecution for
10 an offence against a provision of the old
corporations legislation or the old ASIC
legislation;
and
(c) the proceeding was not a proceeding to which
15 section 1383 or 1384 of the new Corporations Act or
section 267 or 268 of the new ASIC Act applies; and
(d) the proceeding had not been concluded or terminated
before the relevant time.
(2) Without limiting section 7(1) but subject to subsection (3), a
20 proceeding to which this section applies may be continued, and
any order made by a court in such a proceeding may be
appealed against, reviewed or enforced as if section 6 had not
been enacted.
(3) Nothing in this Part, or in the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 of
25 the Commonwealth as applying by force of section 7(1),
operates to preserve the effect of an order to which
section 1383(5) of the new Corporations Act or section 267(5)
of the new ASIC Act applies and, at the relevant time, that order
ceases to have effect as an order of the court by which it was
30 made and any proceeding in relation to such an order is
terminated by force of this subsection.
page 13
Corporations (Ancillary Provisions) Bill 2001
Part 2 Transitional provisions
s. 10
(4) For the avoidance of doubt, Part 9 of the old application Act
continues to have the same application to a proceeding to which
this section applies as it did before the relevant time.
(5) In this section --
5 "proceeding" includes --
(a) a proceeding by way of appeal against, or otherwise
seeking review of, an order made by a court; and
(b) a proceeding to enforce an order made by a court; and
(c) any other proceeding in respect of a breach of an
10 order made by a court.
10. Existing rules of court continue to have effect
The rules of court made under section 51 of the old application
Act and all other enabling powers, as in force immediately
before the relevant time, continue to have effect (and may be
15 dealt with) at and after the relevant time as if --
(a) they were rules of court in force under section 23; and
(b) they were made for the purposes of the provisions of the
corporations legislation (within the meaning of
section 23) that correspond to the provisions of the old
20 Corporations Law for which they were made.
11. References to old/new corporations legislation or old/new
ASIC legislation
