This document activates those rules, telling courts and businesses which version of the law applies to historical company matters (things that happened before the new Act began).\n\n**Who is affected**\n\nPrimarily affects companies, directors, and legal disputes where events occurred before the 2001 Act commenced but continued afterwards. It ensures everyone knows which corporate law rules apply when looking back at past transactions or conduct."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/corporations-act-2001-proclamation-08-10-2001-paragraph-1442b-2-a","history":"/api/acts/corporations-act-2001-proclamation-08-10-2001-paragraph-1442b-2-a/history","analysis":"/api/acts/corporations-act-2001-proclamation-08-10-2001-paragraph-1442b-2-a/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/corporations-act-2001-proclamation-08-10-2001-paragraph-1442b-2-a/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/corporations-act-2001-proclamation-08-10-2001-paragraph-1442b-2-a/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/corporations-act-2001-proclamation-08-10-2001-paragraph-1442b-2-a/documents"}}
