2 The *Credit (Commonwealth Powers) (Transitional and Consequential Provisions) Act 2010* was part of a legislative exercise in which the regulation of credit and certain other transactions was referred to the Commonwealth. As part of that exercise the *National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009* (Cwlth), which contains the *National Credit Code*, was adopted in WA on 1 July 2010.

(b) affects any final order made under section 85 or 86 of the principal Act before the day that this section comes into operation.
6 The *State Administrative Tribunal (Conferral of Jurisdiction) Amendment and Repeal Act 2004* Pt. 5, the *State Administrative Tribunal Act 2004* s. 167 and 169, and the *State Administrative Tribunal Regulations 2004* r. 28 and 42 deal with certain transitional issues some of which may be relevant for this Act.
