sec.156 Disciplinary proceeding started before commencement

This section applies if, under the repealed Act and before the commencement— the former board has laid a disciplinary charge against an architect; and a disciplinary panel has been formed to hear and decide the charge. The disciplinary panel may hear, or continue to hear, and decide the charge under the repealed Act as if the Act had not been repealed and the panel had not been dissolved under section 154. Also, for hearing the charge or doing anything else under the repealed Act in relation to the charge, a disciplinary panel member has the member’s entitlements under the repealed Act. The repealed Act continues in force for the purposes of the panel and the proceeding, including, for example, the making of an order by the panel under section 80 of that Act. An order of the panel under section 80 of the repealed Act has effect as if it were an order of the tribunal under section 130 or 131 of this Act. For this section, a reference in the repealed Act to the board may, if necessary or desirable for the proceeding, be taken to be a reference to the board established under this Act.
