This document activates those specific bankruptcy reforms, telling courts, creditors, and trustees exactly when the new rules apply.\n\n**How it works:**\nThe Governor-General exercises a power written into the Amendment Act itself (subsection 2(1)) to pick this date. Until this proclamation was signed, those schedules were just words on paper; after 1 December 2010, they became enforceable legal rights and obligations."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/bankruptcy-legislation-amendment-act-2010-proclamation","history":"/api/acts/bankruptcy-legislation-amendment-act-2010-proclamation/history","analysis":"/api/acts/bankruptcy-legislation-amendment-act-2010-proclamation/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/bankruptcy-legislation-amendment-act-2010-proclamation/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/bankruptcy-legislation-amendment-act-2010-proclamation/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/bankruptcy-legislation-amendment-act-2010-proclamation/documents"}}
