16 National Regulations may provide for matters dealt with by Corporations legislation

(1) The National Regulations may make provision, in relation to co-operatives, participating co-operatives or associated matters, for or with respect to any matter for which a provision of the Corporations legislation has effect in relation to companies or associated matters.

(2) A National Regulation made under subsection (1) may deal with a matter in a similar way as, or in a different way from, that in which the provision of the Corporations legislation has effect.

(3) Subsection (1) does not apply in relation to a provision of the Corporations legislation that applies of its own force or by operation of other provisions of this Law.

(4) Without limiting subsection (1) or (2), the National Regulations may confer jurisdiction on a court or tribunal to exercise any function conferred by the National Regulations made under subsection (1).

Note—

This section authorises the National Regulations to deal with a matter dealt with by Corporations legislation (with certain limitations) in a manner that does not involve the declaration of the matter to be an applied Corporations legislation matter. This procedure is contemplated by the Corporations application legislation of the various jurisdictions.
