They do two main things:\n\n* **Carve out specific exceptions** to how old references to the \"Corporations Law\" are treated in four particular sections of the *Financial Sector Reform (South Australia) Act 1999*. Normally, section 11(1) of the parent Act would automatically update old references to the Corporations Law to refer to the current Commonwealth *Corporations Act 2001*. But section 4 says: \"not for these four specific spots\" — those old references stay as they are.\n\n* **Revoke the old 2001 regulations** — Schedule 1 simply scraps the previous *Corporations (Ancillary Provisions) Regulations 2001*, replacing them with this 2016 version.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n\nPrimarily lawyers, courts, and anyone interpreting historical references in South Australian financial sector legislation. If you're not parsing cross-references between 1999 and 2001 statutes, this won't touch you directly.\n\n**Why it matters:**\n\nIt ensures that when judges or lawyers read certain transitional provisions in the 1999 Financial Sector Reform Act, they don't accidentally modernise the terminology. The references to \"Corporations Law\" (the old state-based scheme) remain untouched in those specific spots, preserving the historical legislative intent."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/corporations-ancillary-provisions-regulations-2016","history":"/api/acts/corporations-ancillary-provisions-regulations-2016/history","analysis":"/api/acts/corporations-ancillary-provisions-regulations-2016/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/corporations-ancillary-provisions-regulations-2016/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/corporations-ancillary-provisions-regulations-2016/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/corporations-ancillary-provisions-regulations-2016/documents"}}
