16CTransitional provision concerning former sub‑agents

16C Transitional provision concerning former sub‑agents (1) For the purposes of this Act, any period during which a person was employed as a licensed sub‑agent before section 11 of the **Estate Agents (Amendment) Act 1994** came into operation is to be regarded as a period during which the person was employed as an agent's representative. (2) Any person who was employed as a licensed sub‑agent immediately before section 11 of the **Estate Agents (Amendment) Act 1994** came into operation is deemed to be eligible to be employed as an agent's representative for as long as he or she continues to be employed as an agent's representative by the employer employing him or her immediately before section 11 came into operation. (3) However, subsection (2) ceases to apply to a person if, as a result of an event occurring after section 11 of the **Estate Agents (Amendment) Act 1994** came into operation, subsection (2) becomes the only reason the person is still eligible to be an agent's representative. S. 16C(4) repealed by No. 41/2003 s. 23. (5) Any reference in any Act, regulation, local law, subordinate instrument, deed, contract, order or other document to a licensed sub-agent or a sub‑agent is to be construed as a reference to an agent's representative, unless the contrary intention appears.
