This formal declaration is the final step that turns the written law into enforceable law.\n\n**In simple terms:** It's the official notice telling police, courts, and the public that \"these parts of the law are now live and in effect from 12 October 2001.\""}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/measures-to-combat-serious-and-organised-crime-act-2001-proclamation-08-10-2001","history":"/api/acts/measures-to-combat-serious-and-organised-crime-act-2001-proclamation-08-10-2001/history","analysis":"/api/acts/measures-to-combat-serious-and-organised-crime-act-2001-proclamation-08-10-2001/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/measures-to-combat-serious-and-organised-crime-act-2001-proclamation-08-10-2001/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/measures-to-combat-serious-and-organised-crime-act-2001-proclamation-08-10-2001/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/measures-to-combat-serious-and-organised-crime-act-2001-proclamation-08-10-2001/documents"}}
