While this Proclamation doesn't contain the actual anti-phoenixing rules, it triggers the start of new enforcement powers allowing regulators to pursue directors who engage in this practice.\n\n**Key details:**\n*   **Commencement date:** 1 July 2012\n*   **Provisions affected:** Schedules 1 and 2 of the parent Act\n*   **Made by:** The Governor-General on 14 June 2012, acting under the commencement powers in section 2 of the Act itself"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/corporations-amendment-phoenixing-and-other-measures-proclamation-2012","history":"/api/acts/corporations-amendment-phoenixing-and-other-measures-proclamation-2012/history","analysis":"/api/acts/corporations-amendment-phoenixing-and-other-measures-proclamation-2012/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/corporations-amendment-phoenixing-and-other-measures-proclamation-2012/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/corporations-amendment-phoenixing-and-other-measures-proclamation-2012/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/corporations-amendment-phoenixing-and-other-measures-proclamation-2012/documents"}}
