### sec.209 Unfinished matters for existing subcontractors’ charges to be dealt with under the repealed Act
This section applies if, before the commencement, a subcontractor gave a person a notice of claim of charge for a subcontractor’s charge and, at the commencement, there are unfinished matters for the charge.
Despite the repeal of the Subcontractors’ Charges Act 1974 , the repealed Act continues to apply for the notice of claim and subcontractor’s charge, and any unfinished matters for the charge.
However, a reference to a subcontractor’s charge in section 117 includes a reference to a subcontractor’s charge mentioned in subsection (2).
To remove any doubt, it is declared that if a subcontractor became entitled to a subcontractor’s charge before the commencement, but had not given a person a notice of claim of charge in relation to the charge, the person must secure the charge in accordance with this Act.
In this section—
notice of claim of charge means a notice complying with repealed section 10(1)(a).
unfinished matter , for a subcontractor’s charge, includes a matter under the repealed Act that has yet to be started or completed, including, for example, the following—
giving a person who holds a security a notice under repealed section 10(1)(aa);
giving a person a notice of having made a claim under repealed section 10(1)(b);
a person given a notice of claim of charge retaining money under repealed section 11;
the giving of a contractor’s notice under repealed section 11(3).
the use of securities for the subcontractor’s charge under repealed section 11A to 11D;
the giving of information under repealed section 9A or 11E;
the paying of money for the subcontractor’s charge;
the enforcement of the subcontractor’s charge.
