This document is the official \"go button\" that tells businesses, regulators, and courts that these specific rules are now live and enforceable.\n\n**Who is affected**\nAny person or business dealing with defence goods, military technology, or related services that fall under the Defence Trade Controls Act 2012. From 6 June 2013 onwards, they became legally bound by the provisions commenced by this proclamation."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/defence-trade-controls-commencement-proclamation-2013","history":"/api/acts/defence-trade-controls-commencement-proclamation-2013/history","analysis":"/api/acts/defence-trade-controls-commencement-proclamation-2013/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/defence-trade-controls-commencement-proclamation-2013/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/defence-trade-controls-commencement-proclamation-2013/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/defence-trade-controls-commencement-proclamation-2013/documents"}}
