liabilities as the person would have if the person were the

Note This section was relocated from the Imperial Acts (Substituted
Provisions) Act 1986, sch 2, pt 4 (for the effect of a relocation, see
Legislation Act 2001, s 96). The 1986 Act substituted provisions for
certain UK Acts that applied (or may have applied) in the ACT and
repealed those Acts. The provisions of sch 2, pt 4 were substituted for 31
Edw. 3, St. 1, c 11 (1357) and 1 Jas. 2 c 17, s 6 (1685). The 1986 Act,
s 4 (1) provided, in effect, that the rules of law about the interpretation of
consolidating Acts apply to the interpretation of the provisions of a law
set out in sch 2. These rules of law continue to apply to this section (see
Legislation Act 2001, s 96 (3)).
