Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This is a short official notice (a "proclamation") that sets 11 March 2002 as the date when certain provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 officially become law.

Who made it: The Governor-General (acting on government advice) used powers granted by section 1442A of the Act to fix this date.

Who it affects: Companies, company directors, lawyers, and anyone dealing with corporate regulation in Australia. It tells them exactly when specific rules start applying.

Why it matters: Laws often pass Parliament but don't start immediately. This document acts as the "start button" for particular sections of corporate law, giving businesses certainty about when they must comply with new requirements.
